I've had the Solution in mine since mid-2013, so I wouldn't exactly call it "new". It's a permanent solution, and includes a slightly different version of the LNE spin on filter adapter. For peace of mind, there's nothing better.

It's also nearly twice the price of the time honored LNE bearing replacement, although it may have come down in price since I had it done 5 years ago.

Having said that, if I had to do it over again, I would still get the Solution.

Regardless of which way you go, make sure that whoever is doing the installation does an engine pre-certification check. This includes examination of the oil filter and removal of the lower sump cover (oil pan) to check for metallic debris. I'm pretty sure that LNE requires it, but if an indie shop is doing it (or you are DIYing it) you may be inclined to skip this step. DON'T. Why would you want to spend money on an IMS upgrade if your engine is on its way out?

Just my 2 cents...
