But there are a bunch of filters to choose from that fit. Go on Rock Auto and search for a 2006 Corvette (that is one vehicle that uses the filters that are for the LN Porsche adaptor) and a lot comes up to choose from. They have the Wix, Mahle, Mann, Hastings, Bosch, LuberFiner, and a bunch more. And you can view the hole array that LN was referring to and see which ones fill the bill. Good luck!

That is a disturbing development, but LN is on top of it and there are other brands that fit as well. Contact LN Engineering and they can advise you. I used their adapter on my 987 and my 981, still have the latter adapter but sold the car.

No regrets. I use a WIX spin on high flow 51042 vs the now made in China NAPA 1042 (which has visibly smaller flow hole diameter, Not Good!). My oil change intervals are 4500 mi. on average. I pull and send off UOA samples to Blackstone every other oil change cycle. Samples have been fantastic, below the norm. Also use a Magnetic Drain Plug: if you have metal in your oil that would b visible in your filter it will b seen. I dont worry about cutting my filters. Just me and what works for me! Happy Motoring!
I just installed the LN adapter on my 2016 Boxster 2.7. It is well made. Installation is straight forward. I did not prefill the filter as the instructtions said not to, but then got a warning from my 'electronic dipstick' to add more oil. It seems odd to replace the canister with such a tiny filter cartridge but I already change oil every 5k miles and this should be much less expensive and easier from now on.

Have it - like it- I was told it also solves a by pass issue on older engines.

...which is why you take the above advice and get an equivalent Bosch or Mahle! There is usually a cross-reference device or book at most parts stores. Or do as suggested and just ask for a 06 Corvette filter.ChrisS819 wrote: Fri Feb 23, 2024 3:27 pm I was going to install one on my 987.2 until I read the article from Ln engineering about how Napa oil filters are being made in China.
Not an issue.

Yes, the Chinese NAPA 1042 filters are not good, reduced flow. The Filter to use with the LN Spin on Adaptor is the WIX 51042.
