no. my sr20 back in 2000 didn't have much threads sticking out on the oil adapter on the block, the fram screwed on tight, i go on my merry way. i smell rubber burning, look in the rear view and see my trail....all my precious mobil 1 on alpheretta highway. so i ran to the closest place aka napa, got a filter and some more oil, voila. was thinking maybe i did something wrong....this was 8 years ago..

time for next oil change. my cheap ass goes to wallmart again, buy's a ph6607, puts it on there. i make it 20 miles and saw the oil light come on. shut the car off. got a ride, come back with my tools and a new filter/oil. i look and i see that the fram's only bite like 2.5 threads. i compare the fram to a napa one, and i see that the threads on the napa are almost flush with the rubber o ring. i look at the fram and i see it's recessed more, so it doesn't bite on as many threads as the others.

i got lucky, and i hate fram
