Agreed. And I think the metal used for the threads of an oil filter is generally softer than the oil filter housing, and should therefore strip before the housing ever would. Then again, some of those guys are of the "gorilla tight has to be better right?" variety, so you never know what may have happened. At any rate, it would be a good idea to at least take a look at it to make sure it's not leaking now.Originally Posted by Anita
