Adapters / Accessories FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
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?
Certainly, many vehicles have the oil filter installed sideways or even upside-down.
