AN fittings have to fit with AN fittings and npt pipe thread fits in with pipe thread. they do make adapters to go to pipe thread but AN is far superior. you can disconnect them all you want and reuse where pipe thread often requires thread sealant every time to seal

Isn't a sandwich adapter going to make your oil filter stick down way low on your GTO?
