Why do I need an oil filter relocation kit?

Installation of an oil filter relocation kit will allow the consumer to move the oil filter away from the engine to a more convenient location in the engine compartment. This allows easier servicing of the vehicle.

What size oil filter does the relocation kit use?

The kit is supplied with a standard Ford type oil filter, such as a Fram PH8A or equivalent.

What is the difference between a sandwich adapter and a spin-on adapter?

A sandwich adapter installs in-between the engine and the oil filter, allowing the consumer to retain the oil filter in the stock location. A spin-on adapter installs in place of the oil filter, converting the oil filter landing to an oil passage.

Do I need a single or a dual oil filter mount?

A dual oil filter mount is used in applications that require twice the filtration, use high viscosity oils, or with high volume oil systems.

Can I mount an oil filter sideways or upside-down?
