Hey Steve, yes, in that view the oil filter did project slightly below the pan. As I recall, I was using the large version of the NAPA Gold filter at the time that L&N was recommending (actually a Corvette oil filter I believe).

I never had any problem with the long filter, but have since changed to using the L&N aluminum filter housing with the washable filter. That filter does not project below the oil pan.
