quick guide to installing an oil filter relocation kit. Care must be taken to have the oil hoses attached to the correct ports or fatal engine damage will occur.
The "Alright" drinking game. Have a sip of beer everytime he says "ALRIGHT"!!!! Great video though. I climbed under my 1969 Firebird for the last time!
Great tutorial. Just a thought......those oil lines are now almost touching the header. What type of heat shielding are you going to use? Thanks for your time.
thanks for the info. Always though something was wrong with my temp gauge, because engine temps are always exceptionally low. Today, I realized that I have an oil cooler installed.
Installing one of these the first time, its always wise to break out the tool for prelube just like a new motor - lines need to be burped and leak checked.
howdy , I am 69 now and my wife will not let me under the car on jack stands or a ramp. I have a Honda 2010 Accord LX-P can I relocate my Honda Filter. I want to keep changing my own oil and filter. Thanks Mike
This video was a very detailed explanation of how engine oil flows through the filter adapter to and from the remote oil filter on my 97 GMC K1500 SB! Thank you!
thanks for the question. The rubber never directly touches the headers, with that said any heat source needs to be avoided with rubber as the heat will make it brittle and lead to failure. With these kits(oil filter relocate kit) your buying the kit for the engine (chevy, ford, dodge, etc.) not the car. In other words bbc vs 1970 Camaro. So things like headers and other things get in the way and have to be delt with. We just finished the install to show the plumbing of the system. Once the issues were identified the proper parts can be order. Moroso sells a filter adapter that will change the outlet to a 90 degree angle out of the engine block verses straight down like the current universal set up is.thanks again. Hopefully this clears things up. Kit was "DERALE Performance"
Can you mount the relocated filter higher then the level of the OEM? Or does it gave to be down hill of it or at the same level.....? I ve heard mounting it uphill can lead to oil starvation
thanks for explaining this. i just got one of these kits and i was a bit confused but this clears it up. i ended up being pretty tight in clearance so i went to the hardware store and bought two 1/2" street elbows to immediately turn 90° as it exits the derale fixture from the block, otherwise i think i would've kinked the lines trying to turn too tight of a radius to clear the front differential yoke in my truck. i dont have it installed yet but hope to soon. does the engine block require a factory oil filter adapter in order to mount the derale fixture that bolts to the engine? i have a oil filter cooler housing that hangs down about 3" from the engine block now and theres no room to mount the derale fixture to that without hitting my diff. this is the whole reason I bought the kit after the engine swap because theres no room for the filter...
If I could just relocate the drain plug..I wouldn't have to crawl under the car
It is a good habit to crawl there. To inspect suspension parts and bottom of the engine.
Always wondered of a hose and a tap would worl for drain plug like somewhere in the wheel gaurd 🤣🤣👌
Great information! i hope there is a heat shield between the oil hoses and the header. All the best
Nice vid well explained but the oil lines are too close to the exhaust system
Sounds O'l right to me. I'm getting me one of them O'l relocation systems. Thanks for the video.
rubber hoses? next & looks like touching the exhaust, why not AN fittings

Great explanation. Really appreciate it.
Looks like your hoses were against the headers?
When doing a how to video dont video the installation step by step that way people will go WTF I have no clue how he did this???
Honestly looks restrictive which is what has always scared me about themr
Dose that take extra oil thats's not appply on Mopar motors
Great tutorial. Just a thought......those oil lines are now almost touching the header. What type of heat shielding are you going to use? Thanks for your time.
I knew I wasn't the only one that saw that. Fire waiting to happen. Why rubber lines???
That works with a sandwich yes?
How much space does the actual bracket take up, as in depth by width? Trying to figure out if I should go single or double filter.
What is ool?

I searched vw 2.5 oil relocation and this is not it I think? Stupid vw plastic oil cooler and housing.
could you be smart to show how to adopt to exist car and which based the filter can be mounted?
So, that rubber hose is okay right up against that header pipe? Also, whose filter relocation kit is that, JEGS?

Thank u Sir
Great info, I'll get one as my daughters mx5 almost left me with an armpit full of oil while removing the filter. Thanks

Do you have a product link.
What oil filters to use after installing this kit? The same filter as before but 2 of them?
I just got this kit for my 89, my filter is angled and touches the header, good instruction
