Standard oil filter on sandwich plate

[Dan!]

Ptfe tape should be fine just try not to get it everywhere and all over the end of the screw so that it ends up mixing with the oil, and the Renault filter will be fine, restriction will be negligible if any and the only difference it that it doesn't have as much surface area inside for filtering, so technically it would clog up easier, but you'd have to have really shitty oil in the engine for thousands of miles to totally clog up an oil filter.
