Indiana Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 You can get a new OEM oil feed line at the dealer for $12.45 at the link below, you can't make a better line than a steel tube. The part # is MD084550, any Mitsu or Dodge dealer can get it, maybe even a Hyundai dealer since they use some Mitsu engine parts. http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/products/PIPE--Oil-Feed/4443648/MD084550.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 The stock oil filter housing plate is 1/4" -19 BPST. All the kits for sale use a 1/4" NPT to -4an adapter, the threads aren't the same but it seems to work. I wasn't able to find a 1/4" - BPST adapter, so I just bought the NPT and it worked enough. You'll get the best results by retapping the port to NPT. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komeuppance Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 M12 x 1.5 comes to my drunken mind. Probably going to want to double check that. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komeuppance Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Looks like it's actually m12 x 1.25 according to a search. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989STAR-ESIR Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would just buy some new lines from the dealer or from DAD. He has good prices on everything and also has some of those hard to find premolded hoses! Good luck and happy motoring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
