Oil filter threads

Got an oil filter from napa for my wifes neon and its leaking I think. It was bigger around than the old one.

Checked the NAPA site for the correct one and got the stats for it. I have one in the garage that I thought might be for it but wasn't sure. All the stats for it are the same except the thread sizes. Mine is 18mmx1.50 thread. The book one is 3/4 x 16 thread. Wonder if it would work? I may have to make a run to NAPA to see what this one fits and get the correct one.

Anyone up on metric conversions that may know how close that is? 3/4 came up at 19mm for me.

If the threads are wrong, the filter is wrong. Take it back, it won't work.

18mm and 3/4" are very close, but not the same
