I also might do the LN oil filter change just to keep any other junk out of the engine block. Any thoughts on this? I want to do this for the peace of mind as I plan on keeping this little classic for quite awhile.

Price is not bad for a Tip car, the LN spin on filter is an excellent addition. Get a new RMS while you are in there, and replace the AOS (it is out in the open with the Tip out, and can be changed in about 15 min.).

Thanks JFP

What I wanted to hear. The RMS was replaced by the dealership under warranty when I bought the car and has not leaked a drop since. Will add the spin on filter while I am at it for added insurance and better filtration.
