Oil filter sandwich plate
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:07 pm
I've just bought an oil filter sandwich plate from trademe because I want to fit a oil pressure sensor.
It's going on to a Mitsi Pajero 3.5 V6 - which has an M20 oil filter thread.
So what you're supposed to do is mount the sandwich plate onto the engine using the centre fitting. Then you just spin on the filter as normal. The problem is the centre fitting has only got about 15 mm of male thread for the filter to screw on to, much less than what normally protrudes from the engine. The oil filter won't even begin to thread on!
Anyone had any experience with this?
