On mine with an Amsoil filter I'd say its a pretty standard number of turns (like 2-3 full turns to contact,and then another 1/3-1/2 to snug).

Thanks. I know the Denso filters tave the base plate hole threads start just about even with the base whereas other filters are down 1/8- 3/16" depending on how the base plate is designed ( punched) and how thick the gasket is. I will say the "o-ring" style gasket onb the denso is a good feature - the filter can lip limits the gasket crush and helps prevent leaks (I just had to say _something_ good after trashing the Thailand made toyota (denso) the past few ... I plan to try the denso again next OCI - now what syn to use ... oh my brain hurts !!

This isn't very scientific, but I still have an AMSOIL Ea filter and the PureONE. Side-by-side the AMSOIL's base plate hole appears to be recessed down slightly more than the PureONE's, and the AMSOIL's hole is the thickness of about 3 threads, and PureONE's is about 4 threads thick.

Thank you for the feed back, 1stT. I have a metrology lab where I work - I'll bring in a denso Yzzf2, a Wix and NAPA pro-select and measure them. It will not include gasket crush, but Ill see whtas going on. I know the yzzf2 thread is very close to the gasket surface (may the data gods confirm my eyeball). -Bro
