Oil Filter Sandwich Plate
I'm installing a 34-row oil cooler today. My '17 Nismo Tech has an OEM sandwich plate that (I believe) works with the stock coolant system. Should I be stacking the Mocal sandwich plate on top of the OEM plate or eliminating the stock plate?

Thanks. I kept the stock sandwich plate and stacked the Mocal on top. Everything is a pretty tight fit but seems doable.

Removed the OEM sandwich plate. While having both the OEM system in addition to the aftermarket cooler results in lower oil temps, I found the space was too restrictive to offer easy access to the oil filter for oil changes. I installed a u-shaped silicone coolant hose to recirculate the coolant that is no longer going through the OEM sandwich plate.
