Spin-on oil filter conversion

[overdrivesteve]

Hi,

I finally took possession of my loadstar this past weekend. And these are the first of many questions.

What do I need to convert my oil filter from the canister type to a Scout type of spin-on filter that points downward?
Attached in the pdf is a picture of the type of oil filter I presently have. Any advantage to a canister type filter, or is that old filtration technology?

Also, are all oil dip sticks the same for the 266, 304, 345, and 392's?

Thank you.

Steve

It looks like you just need the spin-on adapter from a newer sv series engine.

All the dipsticks I've seen are the same. There are 2 holes in the upper bracket with the 266/304 using the upper hole and the 345/392 using the lower hole.
