To clarify, I have been using the WIX 51374 on A, B and the TD, as I
said, without a problem. Barney's site has a link to an area that
shows problems the threads so the filter might not tighting down
correctly... I made the suggestion that he might have the same problem
with threads not allowing the filter seat because his question was
about leakage and the proper filter.
Bud seems to be talking about the seal between the adapter and the
engine, I'm just talking about the oil filter and how it seats.
