sandwich adapters at a spin on oil fitter are a very handy way to access
pressurised oil..
they can also cause problems ..
( this can happen, for example ,  on diesel vanagons which have an oil
cooler between block oil flange and spin-on oil filter )

no one ever checks that the nut that holds the sandwiched part on is
good n' tight.
Then one day ...
it's loose, the person changing the spin-on oil filter doesn't catch it ..
and 20 miles down the road the oil gets pumped out, doing great harm to
the engine.

but sure, other than that risk ....done right and very carefully this
can work.
