Spin on oil filter adapter. Void my warranty?

Will using the Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter from LN Engineering and a good filter void the engine warranty?

Seems odd to me that Porsche is STILL using a cartridge filter that can't possibly have the surface filtration area of a spin on filter. Add to that its a PITA to deal with and a mess.

I'd get one of these adapters if I know it won't trash the warranty..

Maybe I need to call Porsche and get it in writing.. doubt they would stick to their word if they approved it and something happened.

Thanks

PS: After posting this I called Porsche and of course they said " It would be considered an aftermarket part ( wow what a revelation ) and if something happened that could be traced to the adapter then the warranty is VOID."

I'd be interested to hear how many people use this adapter and have trashed their engines because of it. Of course you could always take the adapter off and put the OEM on back on if there was a disaster... just throw some junk in the filter canister and pray.
