When I bought my 3.2 I was pleasantly surprised that the cap came off the oil housing with ease on its first oil change in my ownership,despite buying the stub just incase all went "pete-tong".

After 5 oil changes the last being 2 weeks ago can report that the cap comes off as expected .The metal cal is not damaged in anyway and I find very little difference between oil changes on the metal cannister against the paper type.

From my standpoint I will leave things as they are as agree that if it isnt broken why fix a problem that doesnt exist .

For me it's a matter of personal preference really.I think in going from a spin on type to the element type was a retrograde step on GMs part.Then factor in that quite a few people have had bother removing the element housing-for whatever reason-and that the spin on is cheaper than the element one so after a few oil changes you're in profit from the tenner or so it costs to convert,I think I'll be going this route come next oil/filter/breather clean time.

This sums it up for me, personally. Absolute personal preference, but of course if your metal cap is undamaged, then absolutely don't fix what ain't broke.

Will be coverting mine when I start on the oily bits, but suspension comes first...
