Reply to "Seeking Advice Regarding Oil Filter Relocation"

bosswrenchMember

To answer the OP, my single Wix filter is positioned horizontally, up inside the triangular subframe that supports the fuel tank, about 16" away from the engine on -8 Aeroquip stainless hoses. I fabbed a simple aluminum heat shield for the hoses- which are teflon inside and WILL melt from prolonged exhaust heat. Putting a small drip tray underneath catches old oil when you first crack the filter loose a turn. After 5 min, no drips!
