@JTT. Thank you.

I recognized that the filter sat higher than the drain plug and was hoping that I wouldn't lose a few quarts but wasn't sure. Have never really looked at engine oil lubrication schematics.

I don't mind about disposing of the oil in the filter canister, just didn't want to have a few quarts draining out. First time draining the oil on a 996.

@PCA7GGR: Yes, 82 911 would have been an option to just jam with a screw driver. No worries.

@inamini: I haven't read about the conversion so need to investigate. Porsche filters are way more expensive than they need to be however since it was my first time, went with OEM.
