I always heard that on the six cylinder engines, because the filter sits 
sideways on the block, they tend to drain when the engine is off, and the 
first critical moments of start up the oil is "filling" the filter back up 
and not going to the bearings. I assumed that the spin on adapter solved 
this problem by angling the filter down. True or false?
