Something interesting in the service manual about oil filters. In the troubleshooting section it talks about many different scenarios of problems. For one problem mentioned “from not using an oil filter with a back Flow preventer.”
I use K&N oil filters with back flow preventers on all my vehicles. I do not see how our tiny little cartridge filter is equipped with a back flow preventer. I could be wrong but I’m not sure about that.
So does anyone know if it has one?

After checking https://www.knfilters.com/oil-filters/ps-7000-oil-filter, I didn't see anything about it having a back-flow valve. Looking at the pics on the website, it certainly doesn't look like it has any complexity in its design at all. The oil basically enters at one end and flows out thru the filter. About as simple as it can be.

The only thing I can think of ...is if down that center tube there is a flapper in it...I never looked and I think I just threw my last one away already...if You think about it can someone cut one in half long ways. To check it out?
I do like the idea of their other filters keeping some of the oil up in the motor....cold starts are the hardest thing on an engine..
I did my tranny at 50,000 and I do my angle Drive every other oil change even though it does not need it. One thing I haven't done is the brake fluid. Let us know how hard / easy it is the bleed the brakes
FunCycle told me how to do brakes and it went word for word how he said. Easy easy. Trust me I don't have near the talent people on here do and I breezed right through it.
So full synthetic 5W 30?

Yes, you are correct
Now if I only knew when the last oil change was done. Oil looks like it’s brand new

Change it anyway, then you will know for sure. It is not worth taking the chance.
What did you do with sling 1 ?

I just mailed off the (UPS) JRI shocks for a rebuild to install on Sling II
Just curious - how often do you think a coilover like the JRI should need rebuilding?
I have the GT's and I suspect it should be a very long time

Nothing yet still taking mods off of it. I probably still have at least 2 more days work to remove what is left

Now that I have no idea, I had a seal leaking oil on the left front, the right side and the rear was still clean.

when you see a seal leaking, easily "bottoming out",not rebounding or all the above.
As the old saying goes if it isn't broke don't fix it.

did something happen to the one that leaked that you know of - - or just went bad?
thank you - - I kept the stock coilovers just in case I ever wanted/needed to send the JRIs in

Nothing that I know of, but I have no idea how many miles are on them other than the miles I have put on them. I would say at least 30,000 miles or more on my Sling. They were gifted to me by another SS owner that puts more than a few miles on her Sling.
Now if I only knew when the last oil change was done. Oil looks like it’s brand new
Every 5,000 miles. 5, 10, 15, 20
I have almost 50k on my jri oneways. Still working but sending in to be modfed to GTs this winter.
fun are you going with the GTs on the rebuild? If so give a report on how it rides
