Hi,
Looking at buying one of these spin on conversion kits. Takes away the horrible cartridge filter from 2.3L and allow the use of the regular oil filter from 2.0/2.5L.

1 = $114
2 = $159 - $80ea
3 = $205 - $69ea
4 = $252 - $63ea
5 = $298 - $60ea
Above costs are for non oil cooler type and includes shipping to my home location. Further shipping to another location will be $8-$12, to be confirmed.
Looking at doing this asap as the 20,000km on the odo just snuck up on me.
Ask any questions you like.
