To add more oil capacity which is a good thing! the OG 9-3 has a pathetically small oil capacity for a modern engine only 4 qts and the usual fix, as in fitting a bigger oil sump is not practical. My bro fitted a giant oil filter to his Viggen he had to modify the exhaust bracket slightly but it holds about 1 Quart more now! All you need to do is carefully check that the specs for the new, alternate filter, like pressure release valve set etc are close to the OEM spec there will be no issues many people have fitted by-pass fine micron filter systems - Amsoil actually sells one . which are "bigger " filters actually ! or have fitted multiple filters there is no downside and they will harm nothing ! racers have done it for nearly a hundred years ! ignore the negativity!
