Yeah, I've driven mine for a month with the oil light on(partially crushed oil pan.....). Finally changed the pan and adjusted the pickup tube since is was slightly off but not kinked. Along with the rear main seal while I was under there. My oil pressure is fine and dandy, fluctuates when it should, no noises either, running Rotella T6.
So you should be fine.
I would like to shoot the PO for tightening the oil filter soo freakin hard that a screwdriver through it didn't move it.

Maybe Salad's filter thread will be earth moving and showing FRAM is actually now up to par with the WIX, NAPA Gold etc part of the class haha.

Dammit! lol
Interestingly Walmart here has completely dropped FRAM. All you can buy are Purolator and Bosch now.

I was talking about Walmart. Saving a few pennies on an oil filter from a vendor is not cost-effective if you have to replace engines due to product failure.
Either that, or they read our many discussions about Fram filters on here and decided the bad publicity just wasn't worth it.
