When it was stock, I would take that housing inside, and scrub it with dish soap, to strip all the oil off.  I even went over it with an old toothbrush, to get it as clean as possible.  I did the same with the bolt, to ensure all of the crud was removed.  I dried it with compressed air, then re-assembled it all.

Now, I just twist off the old filter, wipe the adapter plate clean with a rag, wet the new filter's gasket with clean oil from the bottle, and screw it into place.  By the time I finish the oil change, I have plenty of energy left to do some 12 oz. curls.    Before, I was so tired from all of that meticulous cleaning, I had to quit after the first curl, due to being overworked and exhausted...    

Believe me, if I could figure out a way to adapt a spin-on to my Voyager (the cartridge filter goes up inside the bottom of the block, then it is sealed in place with a circular cover), I would change that out in a heartbeat.    Too bad I am not a machinist:  there is a cruise-ship-load of people still riding Voyagers.  If I could make a simple adapter, I could make a small fortune selling them to Voyager riders.  Hmmm...
