Description
The Mishimoto MMOP-TPS Oil Filter Sandwich Plate Adapter is a CNC-machined, 6061 aluminum engine component built to add three 1/8-in NPT ports to your engine’s oil filter mounting point. Rather than drilling into the block to add sensor bungs, this sandwich plate slots between the oil filter and the filter housing, giving you a clean, factory-style mounting location for an oil temperature sensor, an oil pressure sensor, and/or a turbo oil feed line. Two adapters are included in the kit to cover fitment with multiple applications using M20 x 1.5 and 3/4-UNF threads.
For builders working through the components of an automobile engine, this sandwich plate is a straightforward way to add monitoring capability without permanently modifying engine hardware. As one of the smaller yet essential engine parts for car builds that call for auxiliary oil pressure or oil temperature data, or a dedicated turbo oil feed point, the MMOP-TPS lets you tap directly into the oil filter circulation path used by your car engine. Each of the three NPT ports comes with a plug so unused ports stay sealed, and a gasket or seal is included to help maintain a proper connection at the oil filter mount. As with any component that interfaces with oil circulation, all connections should be checked for tightness before and shortly after installation.
Vehicle Applications
The Mishimoto MMOP-TPS ships with two Sandwich Plate Adapters so it can be fitted across multiple applications rather than a single vehicle. The included adapters are sized for M20 x 1.5 and 3/4-UNF oil filter thread patterns, allowing the kit to accommodate a range of engines that use these common oil filter mounting threads. No drilling into the engine block is required since the adapter uses the existing oil filter mounting point.
