Hey guys! Explore the known here. Today I have a sandwich plate with me.
The sandwich plate is an easy way for you to ..
hook up your oil pressure and oil temperature sensors.
So let's have a closer look at it, shall we?
Okay, so let's do a little illustration here.
Normally you have your ordinary mounting place here.
it's just on ordinary tape but let's pretend it's our ordniary mounting place.
And then we just put ..
our oil filter directly into..
the ordinary mounting place yeah?
Now that we got our oil sandwich plate,
the oil sandwich plate is located in between the ordinary mounting place ..
.. and your oil filter so it basically extends your oil filter
And this is all made possible thanks to ..
This adapter here that goes into
the thread where the oil filter usually threads.
And then just extends, so it's the same ..
.. thread size in here.
And this is the hole with the thread that ..
holds the different sensors so in this case ..
this sandwich plate has 2 different
kinds of threads and 3
threads in total. (3 holes)
So it's makes you
the ability to hook up 3 sensors and ..
the most common sensor thread is ..
1/8 NPT.
So let's go and install it yeah?
Okay so the first thing you have to do is to remove the plugs where your sensors come in.
so let's start by doing that and I'm just doing this for illustration purposes because
I don't have any sealant at home right now.
because you may want to use some kind of sealant
or o-ring on your sensors to prevent the oil from
.. leaking out. So ..
I don't have that home right now so I'm just going to this for illustration purposes.
So ..
Screw your sensors ..
into the sandwich plate. So this big one ..
is the oil pressure sensor, it usually looks like that.
And this is the oil temperature sensor ..
It usually looks like that.
Let's mount it up into our caaaaar.
I'll okay so this is the place where your
oil filter usually get on.
Or mounts into, but now we
are going to install our sandwich plate onto it.
We are going to use this side on the ordinary mounting place.
The side that got the o-rings and you might want to put some
oil on the o-rings first.
And then by using the adapter
we are just going to mount it up.
Make sure it's real tight, you can use a socket later on.
And as I told you before I'm just going this for illustration purposes
so I'm not going tighten it up and then
just put your ordinary oil filter in there
And same goes for the oil filter
put some oil the o-ring.
And your all done!
Just tighten is all up and hook up your sensors
and you're done that how you install
and get to know a oil sandwich plate
and a key of note, since you most remove your oil filter,
when your installing a sandwich plate
You probably want to do it while your ..
making an oil change. So yeah, that's how you do it!
