You think its alright to use the longer 9E oil filter instead of the shorter 65F? Also would there be any benefits in using the longer 9E?

If I remember correctly, the longer filter won’t fit with the Z1 cooler. It’s a bitch to get in and out with the short one.

I also seem to remember some warnings about lower oil pressure, but won’t swear to it.

The longer filter will fit with the Z1 cooler and fittings... barely. It's a PITA and not worth it. You have to unhook the cooler lines from the therm plate every time you change filters. Now, if you're going to be dumping the oil from the cooler and you have a side or upside down mounted cooler, this might work for you. If not, just stick w standard size chode-filter.

I noticed no decreased in pressure when I swapped from long filter to short.

Rarely do I get over 200 degrees here in GA. Usually between 160 and 180 thanks to the Z1 34 row oil cooler.

When I move to ATL, you are helping me install one of those oil coolers.

I’ll do what I did with mine. I’ll drive it down to Carrollton and have Z1 install it.

Homey don’t play with wrenches anymore.

i put in the Purple Ice Super Coolant with the Z1 coolant cap and mine stays below 200 degrees here in Florida. Before it would be around 220 degrees.

Surprised that it actually worked a bit.

Oil changes, I do every 6 months and typically around 1500 miles (my Z sits in my garage during the week). IMO, oil changes every 3k, esp on full synthetic oil, is a bit too early. My daily car, I’ll do every 5k on full synthetic oil.

Yeah, but you also thought Zingston and I were chicks.

LOL!

No, I thought you and MZ DAIZY were chicks, and I think a lot of people would have connected those dots lol, albeit erroneously. Haven't met a dude name Betty or Daizy

Zingston always has hot chicks as his profile picture.

One of these days, we are all gonna meet up at a Z meet, look back on this confusion, and laugh it off over a few beers

Note: I do not condone drinking/driving lol.

If your buying, I’m drinking! I don’t care what gender you think I am.

Oh, unless you’re one of those weirdo’s that thinks there’s more than 2.
