Review Summary:
Been wanting one of these for a few years now and finally picked one up. A few thins to note on the install: I did not remove the exhaust (and never did for oil changes anyway). The aluminum sleeve was a very tight fit into the adapter plate. I ended up tapping it in with a deadblow hammer to fully seat it in the adapter. The oil lines could be just half an inch longer to make it easier to install the lower oil line. And, finally, the supplied hex bolts for the filter bracket are fine, but somewhat difficult to get started and my hex keys wouldn't fit until I had the bolt almost completely fitted. That said, once it was installed, filled and warmed up, there were no leaks. It looks like a winner so far.
