High flow oil filter spin-on adapter.



Fits 986/987 as well as 996/997 models and replaces Porsche part numbers 996 107 020 53 (54, 55). For MY97-08 vehicles with M96 or M97 engine designation. Does not fit GT2, GT3, or Turbo models or any aircooled models. Design only for MY97-08 vehicles with an M96/M97 engine.

We applaud Porsche's use of a canister to reduce waste and be environmentally conscious, but due to feedback from many of the shops and technicians we serve, we now offers our full-flow spin-on oil filter adapter, allowing for use of a conventional spin-on oil filter, rather than requiring the use of expensive and inferior replacement cartridge-style filters.

This makes changing your oil a much simpler task. No longer do you have to handle changing out the cartridge, worry about contamination of the oil filter housing, depositing lint or transfer from whatever rag or paper is used to wipe out the housing, or thinking you have cross threaded the cheap plastic filter housing since they don't fit all that well. (a complaint we hear often!) Our spin-on oil filter adapter makes oil changes easy again!
The Spin-On Oil filter adapter also helps improve the longevity of your engine by providing full flow filtration, which means 100% of the oil gets filtered without having oil bypass the filter (as the factory filter housing allows for). Our design eliminates the factory bypass for the filter (engine still has a pressure relief in the oil pump to prevent over pressurization).
We've chosen a family of filters used on late-model Corvettes, easily found at many local auto parts stores for a fraction the price of the original filter, designed for full-flow application without a bypass valve. Coupled with more frequent oil changes every 6 months or 5,000 as recommended, there should be no fear that a bypass is required. Our spin-on filter adapter has been race proven not to cause oil starvation, even in the most demanding applications. If you were to have a failure where the filter did fill up with debris leading to starvation, if you had a bypass that same debris would have caused further damage to the engine, still requiring an overhaul. We've seen engine failures where the lack of a bypass actually limited damage to the rest of the engine!

Although inspecting the filter for debris requires a special tool to cut open the steel bodied filters over the ease of inspecting the factory filter inserts, when paired with our magnetic drain plug, you can actually get a better indicator of abnormal wear from the ferrous material collected by the magnet on our drain plug.


Filter adapter has machined in hex, allowing easy installation using a 26mm socket and ratchet (not included).
