IMS failure

[BFeller]

Get the LN Engineering oil filter adapter. It stops the filter bypassing and allows the use of off the shelf oil filters. Sold by the same group that makes magnetic drain plugs.

Wife's Boxster,
you are now aware of an IMSB failure. If you've done more research you should have found there is not always signs as to when/if your IMSB is about to fail.
I will assume you now have a good working 3.2 ltr engine that has not had its IMSB changed so change it. The cost and inconvenience to change it now is peanuts to what it could be if the IMSB fails.
Find an Indy shop that does these replacements on a regular base's, then ask for reference's. Us Boxster people love talking about our cars.
