so what exactly is the thread on the drain bolt?
On a related subject, Though they are good filters DONT use thepurolator filter 'cause the nipple on the filter mount is too short and you will engage less than 2 threads - which is recipe for disaster.

Any one else have short nipple or is it just our car(08 3dr 1.5L 5 spd)

hey xpete, I'm in Wilmington, MA

I did not know that about the purolators. the toyota denso filters spin quite a few times before the rubber is seated.

I'm on the other side of the pike.

Yes the Densos spin a few times, you prob noticed how the threaded hole is pretty much flush to the top edge.
