GlowShift's Oil Filter Sandwich Adapters make installing your GlowShift Oil Pressure or Oil Temperature sensors extremely easy. Our oil filter adapters mount between your engine block and oil filter, and feature four 1/8 NPT ports and oil filter adapter plates that allow you to install your oil sensors and feed lines without the need to drill into your oil pan or remove your stock sensors. There are also multiple sensor openings on each oil filter sandwich plate allowing for a variety of mounting options.

Been using one of these for nearly 4 years with no issues. So glad these things exist because the oil sending unit on my F-150 is NOT the easiest thing to get to.
nice and easy, thanks!!!
Awesome video just what I need to do 😎🤘🏽super sweet
Thanks and best regards
thanks for guidance...
If I need to do the oil temperature...I will do this
You need to be a little more careful installing teflon tape to the threads of the fittings and plugs. Don't put teflon tape past the lower portion of the threads on the adapters and plugs. You don't want pieces of the tape breaking off into the system.
Thank you for this information, we do appreciate this!
Worked on industrial oil equipment, and we would have gotten fired for putting Teflon tape on an oil system.
@@GlowShift So, when u tighten the sandwich adapter to the engine, it said don't over tighten it. Do you know what to torque it down to, what specification, so u get it exact?
I thought about this and examined the plate and I don't believe it could be an issue because the direction of oil flow from the sandwich plate where the sensor and plugs are flow from there into the oil filter where any pieces of tape would just get trapped in the filter then removed in the next oil change.
Can u have a pressure gadge, oil temp and an oil cooler to the same sandwich?
What thread tape did you use? High temp or just regular? I was thinking about just using the liquid thread sealant so the tape does get into my oil.
I swear this voice did the dukes of hazard narrating to
Does sandwich adapter fit 2002 svt lightning ?
Will it fit 1995 Chevy Silverado k2500 6.5 diesel truck?
what if told you don't have to drain oil to change filter
Do you guys sell that lil fuel filter looking thing separate? I can't use this because I have a cartridge filter/03 vr6. Otherwise I would have been purchased this. I have an oil temp gauge already installed but need oil temp as well an only one test port on the filter housing. It looks like that splits to two ports which is what I need
Hi, at this time we do not offer an adapter that works with cartridge filters. We recommend that you speak with our tech team at 856-76808300 or via chat to perhaps discuss alternatives or other ideas that may work for you and your vehicle. We are always happy to help answer any and all questions. Cheers, GlowShift Team
94 or 95 integra with 99 or 2000 civic si wheels?
has anyone put one of these on a ranger and can i get one? 2008 4.0 ranger is what i got
Thank u. Can u also fit the lines for a Oilcooler intercooler on the same sandwish? :)
To attach an oil cooler you will need one of these sandwich adapters...

i was wondering if you can use this as oil return ?
Nice.
Planning on installing a kit like this with the next oil shift on my subaru.
Could be useful as I heard that Subaru oil pressure indicator in the dash cluster doesnt go off until the pressure is stupid low. better safe than sorry right?
Could this also be useful for seeing when to refill oil? will the normal operating pressure at idle while at operating temp go down as oil is slowly depleting/being burnt off so one can roughly estimate when the oil is halfway down on the dipstick or something without pulling the dipstick? Some modern cars will tell the driver when to refill oil before its down all the way on the dipstick, I assume it operates based on pressure?
Would be nice if that is the case too. :)
While the gauge can work that way on some vehicles, we still suggest following your manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
I could use one of these but am wondering how you keep the adpater from loosening when you loosen the oil filter. Do you tighten the bolt holding the adapter to a certain torque? Thanks.
+Dan Olson We don't have a specific torque setting, but it's rather easy to take off the oil filter without the whole adapter coming down.
I know this is old but using a little loctite will keep it from spinning off just make sure the loctite can hold up to the temp and oil
Sweet just the thing I was looking for do you know if any of them would fit a 1999 Volvo v70 GLT turbo?
Please contact our Customer Support for thread size verification, thank you!

I currently have a remote dual oil filter on my truck, could I still use one of these oil filter sandwich plates so I could add a few gauges like oil temp and pressure?
Unfortunately we can not guarantee the oil filter adapter will work with a dual remote filter application.
Any plans to make one for 454 Big Block Chevy engines? Would love to run one on the 454 in my 85 C30.
It's in the works.
Can you use this for a turbo oil feed and oil pressure gauge simultaneously?
Yes! They can be used for both at the same time.
is there a difference if the adapter is turn so that the oil pressure sender is pointing up or down ?
Hi, the orientation of the sensor should not be an issue. However, if you are having problems, please remember that with your purchase you do get free lifetime tech support from our amazing tech team. Cheers, GlowShift Team
Anyone know the torque specs on the main bolt of sandwich plate
Do you guys have one for the Datsun l20?
Hey, we have varying sizes of the oil filter sandwich adapter, please check your car's manual or speak with an automotive professional to find out the right one for your Datsun I20: www.glowshiftdirect.com/oil-filter-sandwich-adapters/. Cheers, GlowShift Team
sensor if it hits the car body can it
apart from oil temp and oil pressure sensor... can i use the "blocked off" one for an oil pressure feed for turbo?
Yes, the standard oil filter sandwich adapter that we offer can be used for oil feed for a turbo. However, it cannot be used for an oil return.
GlowShift Gauges yes, thank you very much...
I have at my disposal the whole set and see how the sensors are screwed to the adapter tight enough. Because if I use Teflon and will still do what tight I could install them without Teflon? Or will there oil leakage? Thanks
We suggest using Teflon Tape to ensure a tight seal.
they should of had this a long time ago, this is the easiest way to do it
Any plans to produce these for Ford 6.7 powerstroke engines?
We are looking into this, but we do not have anything set in stone for the larger plates for the diesel engines at this time, I am sorry.
there is 2 sensor ports on the sandwich adapter, does the oil pressure gauge go in one port and the oil temp in the other port? and how do the connection with the gauges and sandwich adapter work? does the gauges include everything i need to get it t work or do i have to buy something else?
Yes, you can use both ports to install sensors. The gauges comes with a wiring harness that connects them to their included sensors.
Do I need to do all the "sandwich" thing to measure only the oil temp, using one sensor? I've changed my oil recently and I just don't want to do this again :) If not I need to wait half year in that case...
We recommend using the sandwich adapter because it is the easiest and cleanest way to install the temperature sensor. Plus, it will make installing an oil pressure sensor easier in the future if you were to choose to do so.
can you send me the link for a ls3 one
At this time we do carry just this one generic Oil Filter Adapter installation video, the installation would generally be the same for any other engine/vehicle.
Which sandwich adaptor would i need for a chevrolet trax 2013 1.4 awd turbo .
Im not sure if these 1 size fits all or do i need a specific sandwich adaptor .
Can you provide me with a correct choice pls
Also another question.
Can i use this for oil temp and oil pressure aswell as the cars factory oils sensor.
Becouse i think chevrolet trax has a built in oil transfer to turbo it dont use external hose from oil filter house.
I havnt reaserched it
We do not currently have an adapter for canister filters. You would need to go into the stock location with a T fitting or an oil galley plug.
Do you guys built or make this stuff for a Mazda 2?
Reason is because I always run to random things with the engine and my brother have told me maybe the water temp or oil temp is to hot and yes that the car is turbo and it's custom made for my car. (car built for track car).
Thanks.
Thanks for the interest in our product! We don't sell anything specific for a Mazda 2, but most of these adapters are universal and come in a few different sizes. So, with that being said, we could sell adapter that would fit on your vehicle.
Can I use this for my turbo oil feed or return line?
That's not recommended.
i guess we don't connect wiring to the oil temp sensor and oil pressure sender? i like these new wireless sending units.. fancy.. - good video other than that small detail that got left off..
This video is only meant to show how to install the sensor to the adapter and then the adapter to the vehicle. Gauge and sensor wiring tutorials can be found in some of our other install videos.
NFC (wireless) for android phones only. Those wires are antennas.
Quick question: Do these adapter sandwich plates work for a Chevy Cobalt Lt? They have a different style of filter. Also could I change the style of filter using the adapter plate?
If it's a cartridge filter they will not work. The adapters are designed for "Spin-on" oil filters it is not designed to change the filter type.
@@GlowShift Thank you for letting me know. It does have a cartridge filter, I did not know what they were called. Any recommendations to add ports for sensors without welding being needed?
Will the sending unit ground in the adapter? Some anodized fittings that I’ve used have to have a separate ground because they won’t ground in the anodized aluminum like they will in a block. Thanks
No, the unit will not ground in the adapter.
@@GlowShift thanks for your reply. Why does no one address the fact in these videos that the sending units won’t work in these adapters without running a separate ground wire from the sender to the block in addition to a ground for the gauge?
@@plugger410 This video is just meant to show how to install the adapter itself with the sensor attached. It is not meant to show a full gauge install with wiring.
Thank you for pointing this out! I didn't know this was an issue. @@plugger410
I have a 1983 Chevy Silverado. Is there a part # for this
Hi Michael, depending on the size of the oil filter sandwich adapter you need would change the part number/SKU. I will include her the link to all of them though for your convenience: www.glowshiftdirect.com/oil-filter-sandwich-adapters/. Cheers, GlowShift Team
Do y'all offer an sandwich kit for a 1987 gmc high sierra k2500? 5.7 350 with a 400turbo. If so could you send me the link?
We do! It can be found here...www.glowshiftdirect.com/chevrolet-small-block-305-350-oil-filter-sandwich-adapter/
Which one of these will fit a 2007 Mitsubishi Galant 3.8l v6
You just gotta find your thread size for the oil filter
Do I leave the oem “ops” sensor in block and run the gauge sensor to the glow shift plate or take out the oem sensor connect it to sandwich plate and plug shut oem “ops” port ?? Any help would be great !!!!
If you are installing a sandwich adapter you can leave the oem sensor where it is. Your gauge will come with a sensor to place into the adapter and then run the wiring to the gauge.
GlowShift thank you so much and Appreciate a fast reply
then the pressure sensor connect to ???
The oil pressure gauge.
can i use this oil sandwhich adapter for a engine oil cooler ??
You would require one of our oil cooler sandwich adapters which can be found on www.glowshift.com.
GlowShift Gauges what kind of sandwhich adapter do i need for an AUDI a4 2.0t
Why would my gauge wont measure is i did all the connections?
Hi, to help you best we will need some more information. Our tech team is fantastic and ready to help answer any of your questions. GlowShift can be reached via online chat or via phone at 856-768-8300. We look forward to helping you very soon. Cheers, GlowShift Team
Do you guys have a single gauge for oil pressure and oil temperature 98 4runner v6
+Rick559 R Thanks for the interest in our product! Unfortunately, we do not carry any gauge that has a dual read out such as oil pressure and temperature.
What about oil filters with the bolt type end, male style....? All the sandwich plates I find is for female oil filters.
Hi, what year make and model are you referring too?
Does it matter which angle you install the plate at?
No, just make sure the ports have enough clearance for any sensors you want to install.
Good Night if I had a sandwich oil filter adapter for Peugeot 505 American version (filter FRAM PH3985) .In steps:
Outside Diameter (mm.): 93
Empalme thread: M20x1,5
Height (mm.): 93
Thanks and best regards
Thanks for the interest in our product. The adapter you would need is here: www.glowshiftdirect.com/oil-filter-sender-adapter-20mm-1-5-thread.aspx
Will this work with internal oil filter housing have 04 vr6 vw gti haven't installed it yet but now I'm not sure it will work
This adapter will only work with a spin-on oil filter.
does it matter what hole you put the sensor into?
+Brandon Cropper It does not matter which thread port you use for your sensor because they all have an equal amount of pressure. Let me know if I can help with anything else!
thank you
Don’t use Teflon tape. Use a paste designed for such applications. If it ends up in system it’s designed to dissipate. Tape could cause clogs.
I think it's fine in the instance because the direction of flow for the oil is into the filter from the sandwich plate so if any tape did happen to come off a threads it wouldn't circulate in the engine or anything it would get trapped in the filter and removed when you did an oil change.
What's the purpose of using a sandwich adaptor?
so you can use oil temperature and oil pressure gauges
@@slipknotfan2217 Isn't there port's on the block you could use. They usually have an allen bolt.
@@847MicRoss yeah but then it might stop the gauge in the cluster from working
Using Fram oil filters?
Fram Ultra is actually a favorite on BobIsTheOilGuy. Regular Fram is pretty crap.
My sender has a spade connector and a nut. Is the nut a ground??
None of our senders have spade connectors. Can you confirm which sensor you are using?
GlowShift Gauges sorry mines just a cheap gauge by hotsystem. Should any sender have a ground wire on it?
Depending on the gauge, there may be some type of ground on the sender. We can not vouch for any non GlowShift gauges tho.
Is this for oil temp or pressure?
This can be used for both.
GlowShift Gauges can I wire both gauges at the same time for this. If I can I'm buying it.
Yes both can be wired at the same time.
Where can i buy this?
www.glowshiftdirect.com/oil-filter-sandwich-adapters/
Which one fits an audi a3 8L 1.8T if im buying this?
+FitnessKenni What is the year of your Audi a3?
1997 :-)
+FitnessKenni I couldn't find info for a 97 a3, but I would imagine it would share the same filter as 1.8T a4. In which case, this would be the proper adapter: www.glowshiftdirect.com/oilfilter-sender-adapter-3-4unf-16.aspx
+GlowShift Gauges Is there any way I can make the order to denmark?
+FitnessKenni Yes, we accept payments via PayPal through our website, or you can always purchase the product through eBay.
You didnt show how to hook up that oil sensor. Which wires go where?
If you a re looking for a full oil pressure or oil temperature install, we have other videos that show that for specific vehicles. Which are you looking for?
The wire that is plugged into the sensor runs to the back of the designated gauge.
Did Fram sponsor this?
No, GlowShift did.
Frams??? Seriosuly
nice! can you give a sandwish part number for my car?
it's a Pontiac GTO ''06 ( 4L60E transmission )
Thanks
This should be the correct adapter for your vehicle: www.glowshiftdirect.com/oil-filter-sender-adapter-13-16-16-thread.aspx
Thank you :)
I mad this on wrx and the oil light press shows and the oil didn’t circulate. Any help?
Please call us at 1.888.GS.GAUGE so we can resolve your issue.
How much torque on nut?
Hi Jasper, we do not have a torque spec, we simply suggest to tighten it snugly. Cheers, GlowShift Team
Do it the same as you would do your oil filter but use some thread sealant to be on the safe side.
Don't use Teflon tape There's better options
