Oil Filter Adapters

Oil Filter Adapters: the plumbing that lets you add gauges, coolers and relocate the filter

An oil filter adapter threads in between your engine's filter housing and the filter itself, or replaces the factory mount entirely. That gives you takeoff ports for an oil pressure or oil temperature sender, or lines out to a remote filter location or cooler. If you've ever tried to fit a gauge sender to a stock block with no free port, or needed to move a filter clear of a turbo manifold or a swapped drivetrain, this is the part that solves it. Fit one when you're adding instrumentation, running a cooler, or relocating the filter for clearance or serviceability.

What's in stock right now

ThreePiece stocks 7 oil filter adapters across 4 brands: BLOX Racing (three in the range), Ford Racing (two), Torque Solution and Skunk2 Racing. Current pricing runs from $68 to $229, which is the live range for what's on the shelf, not a fixed promise.

The spread covers different jobs. The BLOX Racing Oil Filter Block Adapter sits at the bottom of the range and is built for oil pressure and temperature sender takeoffs. Stepping up, the Ford Racing Coyote Gen 2 Oil Filter Adapter Kit and the BLOX Racing Remote Oil Filter Relocation Kit handle relocation duty. At the top, the Torque Solution WIX Oil Filter Adapter for the Nissan R35 GT-R VR38 and the Skunk2 2013 BRZ Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter are vehicle-specific. There's also a Ford Racing Push Rod V8 90 Degree Billet Oil Filter Adapter for pushrod V8 builds.

How to choose

Start with the job. If all you want is a place to plumb gauges, a sandwich or block adapter like the BLOX unit is the simplest, cheapest route and stays close to the engine. If you're chasing clearance or want the filter somewhere easier to reach, a remote relocation kit is the answer, but you'll take on extra lines and fittings to plumb it. Vehicle-specific parts, like the GT-R and BRZ adapters, are cut to fit one platform, so they bolt up cleanly but only suit that car. The 90-degree Ford billet adapter is aimed at pushrod V8 packaging. Match the adapter to your housing thread and to what you're actually adding: senders, a cooler, or a new filter position.

What else you'll need

Plan the whole circuit before you order. A relocation setup needs fittings and the right lines, and you'll want a fresh oil filter on hand. Browse the broader adapters range for related plumbing, and if you're deeper into an engine build, our gasket kits and the full Engine Components section are worth a look.

Fitment help and ordering

Of the current range, two adapters carry vehicle fitment data, sampling makes including Subaru and Nissan across model years 2009 to 2023. If you're unsure whether an adapter matches your housing, call fitment help at 813-535-5801 or reach us through contact us before you buy. All orders ship free, and Affirm and Katapult financing is available at checkout.
