I am lookiing for an oil filter adapter ( close threaded nipple) . I
want to use a 5/8"-18 oil filter orn a 3/4"-16. I am sure that these
are made but I can seem to find them at the local auto parts store .
Do they have another name? Sources ? - thanks

Um, unless you've typed the sizes backwards, you're not going to find
one, 5/8" being smaller than 3/4"

Why do you want to do this, anyway? What's wrong with the stock filter
for your application?

He's talking about the threaded insert that screws into the block. Looks
sort of like a pipe nipple with a hex shaped ID.

To the original poster, can't say I've ever seen one. I've got a few metric
to 3/4, but not as aftermarket parts, just OEM..
