Domi · 04-18-2023, 06:23 PM

Anyone have experience installing one of these? It's looking like i need a spacer unless im completely missing something. Also, anyone know what coupler i need to install the oil filter to the sandwich plate?

The threaded post that came with the Mocal plate threads onto the OEM oil pipe, not into the block. The oil filter screws onto the Mocal post.

Setrab, Perrin, and a few others make oil filter spacers that can go between the block and Mocal plate. You’ll need to locate an 08-14 WRX oil filter pipe to thread into your block and begin stacking plates from there.
