This video will walk you through the process of properly installing your new GlowShift Gauges Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter.
Shop Oil Filter Sandwich Adapters: bit.ly/2I08kLN
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.

WARNING: This demonstration is meant to be a guideline. All vehicles are different and professional assistance is highly recommended for installing any gauge. As with all of our products, we recommend testing the gauge before beginning the install process.

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.

@KennethMixson 7 лет назад

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.

@GlowShift 7 лет назад

Thank you for this information, we do appreciate this!

@ts3dprints732 3 года назад

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?

@95TurboSol 11 месяцев назад

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.

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

@GlowShift 7 лет назад

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

Unfortunately we can not guarantee the oil filter adapter will work with a dual remote filter application.

@pointmade6945 7 лет назад

is there a difference if the adapter is turn so that the oil pressure sender is pointing up or down ?

@moviemaker39100 8 лет назад

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.

@GlowShift 8 лет назад

+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.

@GlowShift 6 лет назад

Yes! They can be used for both at the same time.

@fotis3005 8 лет назад

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

@GlowShift 7 лет назад

We suggest using Teflon Tape to ensure a tight seal.

@MrMythbusterPL 6 лет назад

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...

@GlowShift 6 лет назад

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.

@matisu3 8 лет назад

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?

@GlowShift 8 лет назад

Yes, you can use both ports to install sensors. The gauges comes with a wiring harness that connects them to their included sensors.

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

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.

@hansgoranhogstrom1900 7 лет назад

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. :)

@GlowShift 7 лет назад

While the gauge can work that way on some vehicles, we still suggest following your manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

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.

@Andrico77 Год назад

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.

@95TurboSol 11 месяцев назад

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.
