Your cold start oiling issue rests elsewhere (pump, oil itself, bypass pressure relief system, etc.).

It was interesting that the issue went away after I changed the filter, and then has come back now that I have put the same type of filter I had on when I first installed the adapter. So I have gone through 3 spin on filters, the two NAPA gold ones that LN sells with the adapters have been problem ones, and then and STP gold equivalent I got at the store didn't give me oil light issues.
If you don't think its the filter then where would you recommend starting? I already installed a new spring along with the 997 part, and was looking at installing the new hex drive for the pump, along with new gears, but would probably want to do anything else while I'm in there.
