its in my watch list too! i'll take the plunge and buy it then (its the only imperial size they offer) going to get it in a week or so.

[steveobennet]

for all those who may carry out a search later in life the thread size is 3/4". i've got 3 housings, including the one on my car and it fits them all!

[steveobennet]

i ask a question on here as i thought i would get a quick answer, but it seems no one knew. so i did abit of random buying to find a dooberie that would fit. it say its 3/4" af dan. ain't got a clue about an mpi but there are 3 sizes, 3/4" af m18 and m20, well only 3 sizes for the raid sandwich.

Anyone know if the MPI oil filter is M18 or M20?

AF isn't a thread size - it refers to the hex head. I'd imagine sandwich plate just use a longer union, the best way would be to remove the old one and measure it but your best guess other wise would be to measure the thread in the filter.
