Excellent upgrade, no problems, just torque it and should be no problems with reduced torqued filter.

Do you guys cut apart the spin-on filters too to inspect every once in a while? Just wondering.

Yeah, that's the one problem with those: easy inspection of filter contents is no longer possible.
There are 'can opener' tools that are specifically for opening up standard, spin on filters. I've just not gotten one yet.

You are getting better/finer particle filtration and 100% filtration in exchange for 15 seconds of labor to see the filter media for inspection….seems like a worthwhile trade off.

I can cut through a 51042 filter canister in less than 5 minutes with my Dremel and a cutoff disc. No big deal.

Unscrewing the OEM filter housing, 5 seconds--> Easy
Getting out the dremel, attaching the right cutoff disc, securing the filter to be able to work effectively on it, doing the cutting-->Less easy.
Never said it was difficult or challenging. Just not as easy.
Just sayin' as well.....
All said and done, regardless of whether I cut open the filter or not, I'm happy with my decision to use my LN spin-on and a Wix filter.
