No not normal. Check the torque, its like 75 or 80 ft lbs. Most folks don't go that tight on accident.

Actually, it's 60 ft lbs. Not 75, or 80. Just sayin.

Install spin on filters/adapters; do your part to save an engine.
Engine lube design is to drain all lube oil to crankcase on shutdown
so when engine is started the turbo bearings go wanting for lube oil
10, 20. 30.40, seconds no oil!

Nobody called me wrong on this, it is OK.
I been slammed fore, didn't hurt much.
Jatonka invented it?

Even spin on filters drain out, just not as fast as stock.

Even with anti-drain back valves in the filters? Just asking , because I don't know.

Yup

The oil drips through the filter material. Just cause it does not "drain back" doesn't mean it doesn't drain forward.

Yes its slower, but it still drains out.
