Remote Oil Filter Components

A remote oil filter kit allows the relocation of the oil filter away from the engine block, improving accessibility and cooling efficiency. They are commonly used in high-performance and custom applications where space is limited or additional cooling is needed.

A remote oil filter housing is a mounting unit that holds the oil filter in a new location. It enables the use of larger oil filters and improves oil cooling by allowing better airflow. This makes it an essential component in many oil filter relocation setups.

A remote oil filter take-off plate is installed at the original oil filter location at the engine block, redirecting oil flow to a remote oil filter housing through external hoses. This is a crucial part of any oil filter relocation kit.

A remote oil filter relocation setup provides several advantages:

• Improves accessibility for easier oil filter changes.
• Allows the use of larger, high-capacity oil filters.
• Enhances oil cooling by positioning the filter in a well-ventilated area.
• Reduces engine bay clutter, freeing up space for other components.

The remote oil filter take-off plate is available with the following thread sizes to match different engines:

• M20 x 1.5
• M22 x 1.5
• 3/4"-16 UNF
• 13/16"-16 UNF

These take-off plates also come with male adapters in AN8, AN10, or AN12 sizes to suit your oil cooling setup.

The remote oil filter housing is available in:

• M20 x 1.5 – Standard for many European and Japanese engines.
• 3/4"-16 UNF – Common for various American and British engines.

It is a great option for custom oil filter relocation setups.

Yes, the remote filter housing features two spare ports that come blanked off as standard. These ports can be used for:

• 1/8"-27 NPT, M10 x 1.00, or M10 x 1.25 sensor ports – ideal for adding oil temperature and pressure sensors.
• AN8, AN10, or AN12 male adapters – to integrate with your oil cooler setup.

To install a remote oil filter housing, follow these steps:

• Remove the existing oil filter.
• Install a remote filter take-off plate at the original oil filter location.
• Route oil lines from the take-off plate to the remote filter housing.
• Secure the oil filter housing in a suitable location, ensuring proper airflow and accessibility.
• Attach the oil filter and check for leaks before starting the engine.

Most remote oil filters are designed to be compatible with a wide range of vehicles. However, compatibility depends on the engine's filter thread size and available space for installation. Always check specifications before purchase.

It is recommended to use high-quality, oil-resistant hoses with AN fittings to ensure a leak-free connection. The hose diameter should be matched to the oil flow requirements to prevent pressure drops. Usual hose sizes are AN8, AN10, or AN12.

Yes, a remote filter housing can improve oil cooling by relocating the filter because you're increasing the amount of oil in the system with the hoses, which helps dissipate heat more effectively.
