Your cold start oiling issue rests elsewhere (pump, oil itself, bypass pressure relief system, etc.).
JFP, you're one of my Number 1 go-tos as 99% of the time I'll cede to your recommendations. That said...

I'm curious why you didn't recommend OP remove the adapter and filter and reinstall the cannister/filter to see if the problem replicates. Word?
