I ordered one of these and received it and found 2 issues with it:

1. When it is all tightened up, the element inside still rattles around, it doesn't make a good seal against the rubber gasket that holds it in place and forces the oil through the filter instead of letting it pass under the edge where the gasket goes. I believe this would let some oil pass unfiltered. This may be a non-issue as I don't really know whether it is supposed to do that or not.

2. It does not thread onto my Canton 13/16-16 accusump sandwich adapter. This adapter does thread onto a Wix 51042 and another filter that I had, can't remember the brand, just that it 13/16-16. This is a blocker for me, as this is the reason I got this filter, to go with an upcoming accusump installation.

I am sending it back; since I am the one that started this thread, I wanted to follow up.

It may be that I just got a bad one, as I know a lot of folks have had great success with it.
