Default oil pressure fuel sandwich adapter

so i've been looking all night, and all i found was glowshift fuel sandwich adapters but i also found that a couple of people who had this had problems with the oil filter just popping off... are there another manufacturer who makes these oil adapters that they're using and its working for you? or am i stuck with glowshift ones? i think i have to get a 3/4 one if i do plan to get it but what size oil filter should i use?

I have a glowshift one and I wouldn't recommend it because there is a small leak. A buddy of mine has one as well and he has had lots of leaking problems with it.

It will fit with the stock filter.
When I was using it, I had it once with the stock Toyota filter (which are actually the best ones), once with a mobil1, and once with some "JDM" filter my tuner put on there
All fit fine.

not sure what 3/4 umf 16 is, but it's really easy to install.
When you go to change your oil, you take off yoru old filter.
Then, you screw the adapter in using the center bolt that is supplied with the kit.
This brings the bolt for the oil filter down further to compensate for the thickness of the adapter (I beleive this is where the glowshift has a problem) Tighten down the bolt.
Then you simply screw your oil filter into teh new extended bolt.
obviously you would pick which fitting to undo for whatever gauges or whatnot you are connecting to the adapter.

I hve a glowshift and I put some hi temp gasket maker beween the 2 rubber seals. It has never leaked... however If you dont teflon tape evruthing I could see how there would be a problem. The other thing I would suggest is trying to find a thermal oil sandwich plate b/c it will close if it gets too cold. It may take some inovation but you gotta find out what works the best for you.
