High Performance Remote Oil Filter Adapters & Kits

To install a remote oil filter kit, first decide where the new oil filter location will be; ideally the frame or other sturdy surface. Next, confirm that there is a clear path from the old oil filter location on the engine to the new position. Next, install the oil filter remote mount to the sturdy surface. Then remove the old oil filter. The oil filter adapter or filter sandwich plate can then thread in place of where the oil filter used to mount, usually by spinning it into position. Most universal kits have a thread adapter selection included (for example, oil filter adapter 5/8-24, 3/4-16, 18mm x 1.5, etc.) Install the fittings (either standard or aircraft) into both the oil filter mount adapter and the remote oil filter mount and secure the hose and hose connections connecting the two components. The new oil filter can be installed next. Confirm all connections and components are secure and tight before starting the engine. Finally, turn on the engine and confirm there are no leaks.

To change the oil filter adapter gasket, remove the engine oil filter adapter or sandwich adapter. This can be done by removing the hoses and spinning it like an oil filter or unbolting it, depending on the design. Next, remove the old oil filter gasket or seal and replace with the new one. Then reinstall the oil filter adapter housing. Finally, start the engine and confirm there are no oil leaks. The oil filter adapter gasket replacement is then complete.
