so im installing gauges and have the sandwhich plate for the oil temp/press gauges. i searched and everyone says that you have to change your oil when you install this plate. i just recently put new oil and a filter in.

my question is can i just take off the filter put the plate in and put the filter back on? save me 9 bucks a quart on royal purple

since all the oil will be in the sump and there is no pressure in the lines there should not be more than whatever is left over in the filter to drip out. correct?

lemme know guys, thanks!

 

^yeah that sounds about right to me...u would just lose all the oil in and around the filter.....I would say you could.....especailly since it's RP oil it's not cheap...

 

yeah, that should be fine.
just have a rag near the oil filter when you take it off so you don't drip oil everywhere.


what kinnda gauges?????

 

yeah just like a regular oil change when you take the filter off

i have the amber/white prosport peak series. oil temp/press/water temp

 

very cool, good luck on the install. What kind of gauge pod are you using?

 

lotek about 2/3s done right now. ill post pics later!

 

Haha JEDI always wondering on what ppl are up to....i think he is just tryin to get more ideas of what he can do to his 8 since he prob already has a list longer than an 8yr old writing to Santa Claus haha!!!

 

anyone wanna tell me why the thread for the oil filter doesnt reach past the plate?

 

huh? did u put the thread fitting on.. you screw it on over the plate so u can tighten the filter onto it.
