Thread: Bypass Oil filter spin-on adapter.

I received my oil filter adaptor from Series 1 Club UK today. Four hours later , lots of nice words I had it fitted after unbolting booth engine mounts & removing the L/H mount bracket & leavering the engine over to the R/H side. I took the bracket off so I could remove & reseal the pipe conections on the motor . I then droped the sump to clean any sludge out ( didn't find any ) Will make a new cork gasket tomorrow & refit the sump.
The fitting instructions say ( Please do not just slip the conversion in from the belwo like the old ZS1 dodge , make sure that the lip is in the slotof the bracket as due to the weight of the adaptor it may drop out & for the same reason put all the bolts into the bracket " I KNOW IT'S A LOVELY JOB" but you dont want it to fall off . What an understatment .
It also says - this filter being smaller will need to be replaced every oil change unlike the ZS1 which was every second change or like some people EVERY OTHER DECADE OR EVERY 100,000,000 MILES. Will post photo's tomorrow if i remember to bring the camera home
