I have a DSN oil filter housing with the threaded hole for a temp sensor. I have bough an adapter form them also to suit the change in thread size. 

 

I think the sensor is too long and may restrict the oil way. 

 

what do you say? 

 

 

From the engine side:

 

From the oil filter "hole":

 

 

 

They do sell a longer adapter, but they seem to think this one was fine.

far as I remember the sensor has to be in the oil flow to get the correct reading. sure some one will be long shortly to help...

first thought. what thread is the adaptor?

5/8 UNF at the sensor side (the correct thread  for the sensor)

nope other side? if parallel thread you may need a washer between it and the filter head- which will lift it a mm or so.

 

but as to restricting flow i would not be too bothered as there are more restrictions in the system.

 

restrictions on the pressure side have little effect unless they are bearings.

Ah!

 

I am not sure what the thread size is. however a washer won't work as the threaded part is so short.

to be honest i would not be worried.
