Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-SPC32-M22SL is a billet 6061 CNC-machined aluminum oil filter spacer built specifically for the M22 x 1.5 oil filter thread size. It solves a very specific problem: engines with recessed or hard-to-reach oil filter landings that leave no room for an oil cooler sandwich plate. By adding 1.25 inches of additional clearance, this spacer opens up the space needed to run a sandwich plate without fighting chassis components or engine bay obstructions.
Beyond simple clearance, this Mishimoto oil filter spacer pulls double duty as an accessory port hub. It incorporates two pressurized 1/8-in NPT ports that can accept probes, sensors, sending units, or pressurized oil feeds, making it a practical solution for anyone adding an oil pressure gauge or sourcing an oil feed for a turbocharger install. It can be run on its own for the added ports alone, or paired with a sandwich plate when both clearance and extra fittings are needed. A stainless-steel center bolt and a nitrile O-ring are used to keep the connection sealed, while an anodized silver finish is applied over the aluminum body for corrosion resistance.
Vehicle Applications
This spacer is built around the M22 x 1.5 oil filter thread size, one of the most common oil filter thread patterns found on modern engines, making it a fitment-friendly option for builders working with a recessed oil filter landing on an engine using this thread size. Because it’s engineered around thread size rather than a single vehicle platform, it’s a flexible solution for engine bays where a sandwich plate needs clearance or where an owner wants to add oil pressure monitoring or a turbo oil feed without an OEM provision for it.
