ok should i buy an Oil Sandwich Adapter im debating because im getting ready to put back on the engine head and if i did get one then it would be alot easyer for me to put on now.HELP please thanks

 

you can put in the later.... I have one and it was straightly easy put in when i was under the car.

 

hey gsumano, when you installed that adaptor did it have gaskets on both sides? mine only has it on the engine side and it dumps oil out the side that the filter attaches onto, thinking i need to stick a gasket on the filter side also...

but yea, is yours2 sided? i didnt think i would need it because the filters themselves are gasketed

 

hey didder,
My only came with one gasket and it was for the side of the engine. It had a circle groove on the edge where it has a round gasket. The side for the filter has a smooth surface since the oil filters come with their own gasket.

I think all sandwich adaptors are one side because when I had my intake manifold off, I was able to see the surface where the oil filter attaches and it was smooth like the oil sandwich side.

 

^ didder i'm in the same situation, and thanks for the help gsumano

 

you put yours on and it leak like crazy?

i was 2 quarts low after 30 miles and was like HOOOOOOOO SHEEEIT! had to stop at a small shop and make them throw me on the jack lol

sov said they should be gasketed on both sides to seal correctly, because mine is glossy smoothe not like an engine thats got a little notching in it, so i think the filter cant seal to it properly once pressure gets applied

i dk though, im just an idiot

 

naw you're not an idiot, i have the exact same kind and it'd prolly do the same thing haha

 

Mine doesn't leak at all.

 

^ well i havent installed mine yet, but its the same one as Didder, like the one side is flat, so hopefully i'm in the same situation as you Gsumano

 

install it now flip, it takes 5 minutes, just make sure you have your sensor screwed in and wired up before puting it on, it is a biatch to do it hwen its up inside the car, not any room whatsoever
