Recommended Option Sandwich Plate with Thread Extension Kit Best for: Most customers, DIY installers, and professional shops. Why choose it: Provides a direct pressure-side oil connection at the factory oil-filter location Avoids the difficult-to-access factory pressure-port location Simplifies the pressure-side connection Can substantially reduce installation time and complexity Recommended as the standard pressure-port choice for new installations Premium Insane Diesel design: Dual-seal design: aluminum-to-aluminum sealing plus an O-ring Precision-machined T6 billet aluminum sandwich plate Black-anodized finish Custom Insane Diesel engraving Correctly matched stainless-steel oil filter thread extender Includes: 1 Oil filter sandwich plate 1 Matched stainless-steel thread extender Important installation and maintenance requirements: During initial installation: Clean the thread extender, apply Blue Loctite 242 or an equivalent threadlocker, and torque the thread extender to 35 ft-lb. At every oil-filter change: Check that the thread extender is torqued to 35 ft-lb. If the sandwich plate is removed: Replace the O-ring before reinstalling the plate. Do not reuse the old O-ring. Traditional Option Factory Pressure-Port Tee Fitting Best for: Experienced professional mechanics with the proper tools and confirmed access to the factory pressure port. Installation considerations: The factory pressure-port location is difficult to access Installation is significantly longer and more involved than the sandwich-plate method Requires the correct tools and work in a restricted area Professional installation is required Not recommended for most DIY installations Includes: 1 Tee Fitting System (TM1215B) 1 Washer (D12) 1 Fitting (AN06-02MP90) 1 Fitting (AN06-06FJ) Important: This pressure-port method requires a professional mechanic because the connection point is not easy to access and can require a lengthy installation.
