That is/was not the case for oil filters.

RPO-237 Oil Filter (RPOs were factory installed - Regular Production Options).
Chevrolet Truck GM-accessory oil filters came with "rubber"/flexible lines" (dealer, shop, or owner/neighbor installed).

I have never had a problem with original-style Chevrolet truck oil filter "rubber"/flexible lines" (proper length; and, proper location of filter unit).

I use metal lines on the fuel system, with one flex segment as original (usually near the fuel tank).
Thank you for the correction, Tim.
The ole RPO did me in.
