fitting the sandwich plate with an OEM size oil filter you will have problem with space. There is not enough space to fit an OEM size oil filter. I know this from my Mocal oil cooler which comes with a sanwich plate. There was no space to fit an OEM oil filter, so I had to fit an oil filter half the size in length.

Yeah i did recall reading it somewhere im sure they mentioned the TRD one is ok to fit although if Sparkystav is sucessful finding those parts may not have a problem at all Smile

TRD has the same size with OEM.

jimbob150385 oh right well where ever i read that was wrong then what filter can i use then mate?

After a lot of search I ended up with HKS oil filter for a 2JZGTE engine. It has the half lenght from OEM. You just have to check that the diameter of the filter will fit on your sandwich plate and there will be no oil leakage.

Have you just just pushed it in to the holder, or removed the black rubber seal, slid that down the neck of the pump then pushed it in?

The inlet and outlet are on the same side yes (though opposite ends)?


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 16-11-2020

yeah inlet is the same side it just seems to be to long mate its just not making sense! i slid the rubber down the lot but still by the time i put filter on the pump the bottom was never gonna fit

Hmm got a pic of it mate? Mines exactly the same and fits straight in with no mods.
