You'd have to check it every day.

I've already forgotten, but I think the heater hose is 3/4" so it would be kinda garped that way.

Thanks! BTW this might not fit if you have a hood liner. Also the way it's shown in the picture is a bypass setup I haven't changed to full filtration yet.

How are you guys checking your spin-on filters for dirt collected? Are you cutting it open or something like that? How else would you know if you only had a "teaspoon" of dirt collected?
