Sandwich Plates
Oil temperature has a sneaky way of becoming everyone’s problem once a car starts getting driven hard. Sandwich plates help connect supporting oil system upgrades, such as oil coolers and sensors, without turning your engine bay into a plumbing experiment gone wrong.
Commonly fitted between the oil filter and engine block, a sandwich plate can allow oil to be routed to an external cooler, pressure sensor, temperature sensor, or other supporting hardware. For performance builds, track cars, turbocharged setups, and hard-driven street cars, it is a small part that can play a big role in keeping things under control.
At Pro Speed Racing, we source premium sandwich plates, oil cooler sandwich plates, gaskets, fittings, and supporting performance parts through our trusted supplier network. We do not keep every part sitting on the shelf, but we have the connections to help source the right setup for your vehicle and build.

What Does A Sandwich Plate Do?
A sandwich plate creates an interface between the oil filter and engine block, giving oil a pathway to additional components. Depending on the design, it may include ports for oil cooler lines, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, or other fittings.
For cars that see spirited driving, track use, towing, or high-heat conditions, a sandwich plate can help support an oil cooler setup that keeps temperatures more stable. Because cooked oil is not exactly the secret ingredient to long engine life.
Thermostatic Vs Non-Thermostatic Sandwich Plates
Thermostatic sandwich plates include a built-in thermostat that helps control when oil is sent through the cooler. This can be useful for street cars, as it allows oil to reach operating temperature before full cooling begins.
Non-thermostatic sandwich plates route oil through the cooler more directly, which may suit certain performance or motorsport setups. The right choice depends on how the car is used, climate, oil temperature goals, and the rest of the cooling system.
Find The Right Sandwich Plate Setup
Sandwich plate fitment can depend on the vehicle, oil filter thread, available clearance, line fittings, cooler setup, and whether you need extra sensor ports. Some setups are simple, while others need careful planning to avoid leaks, clearance issues, or awkward hose routing.
