I had a Plymouth Voyager with a twin OHC Mitsubishi V6. The oil filters I found out had a metric thread that was very close to that of a standard. My garage mechanic spun the wrong thread filter onto the engine when it was in for its first oil change. I got 1/4 mile down the road before I realized I had a catastrophic loss of engine oil. OHC engine was never the same after that. Leased company car so I was stuck with it for 3 years.
