While you're on the topic of oil filters and flow, I'm a new Midget owner
and was looking at the oil filter adapter.  From what I've seen, it's a
pretty popular conversion.  Any comments?

Plus, is there a consensus on the best oil type to run in spridgets?  I saw
in the Haynes manual that good ol' 10W30 wasn't the recommended oil of
choice.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse with these questions.
