Oil Filter choice

That is the oil going to lubricate the IMS Solution. I believe, but am not certain, that this spin on filter adapter is different than the spin on adapter LN sells for engines without the solution installed.

If you don't see this braided flexible line, then you have a LN ceramic bearing IMS Retrofit, if you have something LN installed in your IMSB. There may be a LN Engineering sticker on the underside of your rear trunk lid or door jamb with a serial number. If you find that sticker, you can see if your car has been registered at LNEngineering.com or contact LN with that number and they can tell you what you have.

Great advice! I did see the service bill for the IMS install this weekend while I was going through all the paper work and maintenance records passed down to me. I will check this out tonight when I get home. I know another shop in the Atlanta area did the install, but I recall seeing the parts were from LN, just not sure which one at this point.
