I'm going to be installing a mishimoto oil sandwich plate adaptor on my 2019 STI so I can monitor oil temp and pressure. It's a generic part and came with no instructions and I am looking for some thoughts on the following.
#1 - the male thread on the block will have an extension screwed on to it. What torque amount should I use? I was thinking the same as the manual states for the oil filter?
#2 - would you use a combo thread sealer and locker on the male thread ?

The female part that will screw into the mail oil filter thread is bronze in that picture but look aluminum in the package I received.
Thanks!
