Greddy Oil Filter Relo Kit

[Chi100188]

Hey guys i had my oil filter relo kit installed 6 months ago and now its leaking where the oil filter is so i thought it was the bolts/studs for the holes that you would put guage senders in so i put PTFE tape on one of them and theres another one that i danno if its leaking or not hmmm so if i put PTFE tape on all of them shold it be ok?

Cheers

Never use PTFE tape on any oil or fuel connections. Only ever use thread sealant or thread lock like Loctite. That tape shit turns to jelly when combined with fuel or oil eventually.

you know thats the second time ive heard about the greddy relocation kit leaking, something wrong with the design or is it installation error

reason i ask is i wanted to get one so i can make oil changes easier on my poor hand which have to snake into the engine bay lolz

They usually have 'O' rings on the adaptor or flange nut. Don't need teflon, just a new 'O' ring.

hmmm well these allen key threads don't have O rings? so i just used some plumbers tape so its holding up ok i guess...so what is there to use to stop a leak? i used industrial plumbers tape high temp or something and its ok atm? the defi web site says use PTFE to install gauge sensor onto sandwich plate if there is a leak? so thats why i used the PTFE for first allen key nut thing what is alternative other then PTFE? or the industrial plumbers tape? the kit never came with o-rings apart for the hose bits which connects to the two adaptors and just another O ring that bolts onto the block hmmmi might try the loctite stuff if it still leaks
