Standard oil filter on sandwich plate

[padge]

There seemed to be a rumour floating around about standard oil filters coming up against the radiator with a sandwich plate installed therefore not leaving enough room to put it on/take it off. I am happy to quash that rumour with the picture below:



The filter wasn't even screwed in much and it still had plenty of clearance! That was my old filter, I got a Megane filter before I did the install due to the rumour, but next time I will know to just get a standard one.

i had an oil cooler sandwhich plate, and a plate for oil temp etc, and it was still fine, there was a slight dint in the rad with the engine moving when coming on boost, but thats as far as it went.
