7M oil filter thread size

**whatthe?** · 04-12-2006, 03:04 PM

Hi all,

Cant seem to find any info on this on the net and I don't have my car here to measure. Just wondering if anyone knows the thread size of a 7MGTE oil filter? I'm trying to find a sandwich plate with built in thermostat for my full flow oil cooler setup and I've found a couple, but I really need to know the thread size before I buy.

Cheers

should be the same across the board shouldnt it?

4A, 1J, 1G, 7M, 3S, CA18, SR20, they all share the same thread dont they...?

You'd be suprised at how many imperial threads there are on a Jap car, i've come across probably 3 now on my MA61. Can't remember where they were though.

Working on old Mazdas is perilous, half of em are metric and half imperial. I replace as many as possible with metric jobs as I go.

That said I've owned 10+ Toyotas from mid 70's onwards and don't recall a single imperial fitting.

this is from E70, E86, A70, A22, and a few others i forgot about right now... :/ all up, about 7 cars, all toyotas, that ive never seen an imperial fitting.
