So I got this part from Baxter and it screws right into the oil filter cartridge housing. Rather simple install. It increased oil capacity by almost 2 quarts. Simple

I am surprised this did not receive more traction. Oil changes on the 200 are abysmal and are a futile attempt to reduce “waste” from Canister filters.
I question the quality of something like this due to the systems criticality. While the oil pump is a PD pump and the few feet of elevation changes will have negligible effects on its performance, what are the hydraulic losses in the lines and what sort of failure modes do they introduce?
Just thinking out loud…..
I'm reaching out to them and will post update. Really interested in this product.If that's a concern they also make a spin on adapter that does not require the remote locating of new filter. I've not seen anyone run one to verify clearance on the various skid plates folks run but seems to work with a stock unit.

I called Baxter and they explained it is different between Tundra/Sequoia and LC200. The said if we have 5" total from lip of where the adapter would attach, it should work. I have a differential drop, so assume I have a bit more room, but I'm going to measure and if close enough will order and post findings.I'm reaching out to them and will post update.

AGREE!! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!Reminds me I need to put a thread together on how easy and quick oil changes are on our trucks.
Yes - it is awesome, here is my crappy YouTube review:Did you ever get to install the adapter?

By the way, from where should I measure the 7 inches? Top of the factory oil filter housing or the bottom of it?
It’s not that it’s not simple. It’s that is a PITA and creates a mess. Idiotic cartridge filter design.Mine is still running.
I would wager that the number of 200 series owners who change there own oil would be greater if the procedure was simpler.
I think the issue is many of us, my self included, weren't using the drain adapter correctly. I've been schooled and it's pretty slick if you just follow the process. Drain the housing and no mess.
