Thank you!

Folks that are running an accusump on the boxster using the sandwich adapter (and not the remote oil filter), what oil filter are you running?
  • Wix 51042 (or equivalent) - combined with a deep sump it probably would not hang down much if any? With no deep sump it looks like it would hang down a little.
  • Some shorter filter, like Wix 51081? Looks to have virtually the same specs as the 51042 but just shorter in height, with a shorter change interval?
  • LN billet oil filter with washable media?
  • Other?

Thanks

Steve
