Which Oil Filter Relocation Kit do you have?

[indept]

The only issue I could see is if you mounted it sideways above the engine where it would drain back to the pan when the engine is off.

Theoretically that shouldn’t be an issue if the anti drainback valve is operating properly. Lots of cars have filters horizontal above the oil pan and some even upside down

I did mine for less hassle and to aid in cooler oil as i installed mine in direct airflow. I noticed my oil stays about 6° (204°) cooler around town and about 3° (212°) cooler highway for extended periods of time.

Thanks....I've not heard of folks doing this until I stumbled onto this thread.

If you can find a top in filter mount then I don’t see why it would be bad. Less bends the better. I wanted a top in mount but couldn’t find one in the stock filter size.

Kind of curious on why you wanted the metric filter housing,wouldn't the more common 3/4-16 thread pitch filters be just as wise if not wiser.You can always find a PH8 style filter even in the middle of nowhere,while the metric filter can be harder to find

Can't argue that if the engine woke up dead that the filter was the cause if you used the stock filter

I bought a few extra of the filters. May switch out down the road to the 3/4” filter as the ph8 is larger and I will want a cleaner style filter mount instead of what I have but I wanted to stay factory filter for now

Same here.
Have you noticed any change in oil pressure since you moved it?

About 3psi across the board. Running 5w30 I’m at 37psi hot idle and 51psi hot running. 56psi cold idle. Not sure though as I did switch from redline to PUP same time. Idk if I lost any from the different oil

And that's with the stock filter or larger one?

I’m running the 20-820 which is the larger stock filter. There are 2 stock filter sizes

So same diameter but longer?

 

[crazykid1994]

Pretty much

I didn't see the 1/2 pipe thread to flare nut fittings that screw into the adapters on your list, are the included with the 10AN hose fittings or did you buy them at a local store?

 

[crazykid1994]

Did not use flare fitting adapters. I purchased -10 an hose to 1/2” npt thread fittings

Ok. I just looked at them on Summits site. They swivel? I wouldn't trust them. There nust be a O ring sealing that which could start to leak eventually as they vibrate. There was a comment on the site from someone that said one of them leaked from the start so he ordered another which was ok so that worries me.

You can order a different brand but they all swivel. It’s all up to you. Your truck your parts. Or just stick to the factory filter mount and never have to worry about it

I thought the flarenut kind once tightened were rigid. Just curious, with your fittings now that they're mounted to the adapter can the hose still swivel some?

Yes they still swivel. They’re not flared connection fittings. If they didn’t swivel you wouldn’t be able to line everything up

Thanks for the info. Im looking forward to relocating mine. Between that and the fumoto valve the hardest part of changing my oil will be opening the beer..

Yea. I’m ready for my next oil change. I’ve had the drain valve since my first change. I love it. Now the relocated filter. It’ll be a piece of cake
