This catch by the filter does bring up another point for all boxster owners.
The stock filter in the 986 has a "Bypass" that allows some oil through without going past the filter element.
I wonder if we should all be installing the Spin-on-filter adapter to have ALL the oil go through the filter to prevent all the bad stuff from passing through the oil channels that feed the bearings and other parts directly and potentially even clogging and restricting the oil feeds.
Makes me want to order one immediately.

I wonder if Jake can comment on the adapter and whether its a good idea or if there are any issues with doing that?
