Description
The Mishimoto Oil Filter Take-Off Plate, part number MMOC-FTO-34IN, is a purpose-built housing that replaces your engine’s factory oil filter to enable a full remote oil filter relocation. Machined from a solid billet of 6061 aluminum using a design refined through 3D printing and CAD modeling, this take-off plate is the core engine component that lets you reroute oil away from a cramped engine bay to a new filter location. This particular version is built with a 3/4-16 center adapter thread, matching a wide range of standard oil filter housings found among car engine parts.
Relocating an oil filter is a proven way to gain ground clearance, upgrade to a large-format filter, or simply make oil changes easier to reach — and this take-off plate is the piece that makes it possible. It replaces the stock oil filter and adds oil line ports so oil can be rerouted to a remotely mounted filter, effectively turning one of the more overlooked components of an automobile engine into an accessible, serviceable part of your build. The plate uses female M22 X 1.5 inlet and outlet ports designed to pair with Mishimoto Remote Oil Filter Fittings, sealed with a robust nitrile O-ring for a leak-free connection between engine parts and lines. Whether you’re dealing with tight engine bay clearance or simply want easier access to a key part of a car engine, this take-off plate is engineered to handle the job as one of the more versatile parts of a car engine’s oiling system.
Vehicle Applications
Mishimoto designed this Oil Filter Take-Off Plate as a universal engine component rather than a vehicle-specific part — it is available in multiple center adapter thread sizes to fit most standard oil filter housings, with this MMOC-FTO-34IN version featuring a 3/4-16 thread. Because it mounts to the oil filter housing itself rather than to vehicle-specific mounting points, it can be adapted across a wide range of car engines that use a compatible thread size. Completing a full remote oil filter relocation on any engine also requires a Mishimoto Remote Oil Filter Mount, Mishimoto Remote Oil Filter Fittings, and Mishimoto Braided Oil Lines, all sold separately.
