With a STILLEN sandwich plate. Not all sandwich plates are the same. I assume FIs is meant to use the stock filter. Stillen's is not designed to use the stock filter

I think that is a mistake on Stillen's part. There are a few negatives to requiring a different filter than stock. One definitely has to be willing to do their own oil changes with this kit, or be prepared for hassle and/or mistakes.

My bad if I came off sounding like an asshole.
I thought that was common forum knowledge that the Stillen plate uses a different filter

Op I'm glad i have found this thread as Im not comfortable using the $3 fram oil filter as suggested by Stillen.

Will try the K&N and Mobil as suggested.
The last time I tried the K&N oil spilled all over as i did not get a good seal.
Could not remember which part number was it hopefully not the same as you suggested,

Sorry bro I could not remember but autozone made a search match for the Fram oil filter used by stillen then is the one came out in the computer K&N brand.
When I get the chance to go by autozone I'll get the part # but it did not give a good seal spilled about a quart of oil.
