    Talking Remote oil filter is in

    I took advantage of the long weekend and installed my remote filter kit. The hardest part was getting the plumbing dressed nice but after two trips to Ace hardware I was up and running. Besides the obvious benefit of easy oil changes the remote filter also lets you prefill the oil filter with fresh oil before installing and puts the filter into the airflow for added cooling. I took some pics and will post later.

    Kit was JC whitney universal. It did require about $15 in fittings to make the install plumb clean. I also ported and polished the adapters for better flow. About $60 total.

    Where did you mount the filter and how much oil pressure did you loose??

    I have heard that long runs of hose can reduce pressure but I have no experience with it.

    Thanks for the update.

    I like this idea. Getting to the filter in the stock location is a b!tch. Just be carefull when driving over rough terrain. You may also be victim of a vicious prank is some dipstick (punn intended) removes the filter for you. Keep an eye on the oil pressure guage. You'll get very little notice if you have a problem.

    Do you have a "real" oil pressure guage?

    It looks good. What does something like that go for?
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Here's the kit I used
    http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/I...D:100000167267
    I also bought some brass fiting from ACE hardware to get the hose to leave the part the filter screws on at 90degrees. Also one fitting is above the other.

    I don't have a real oil pressure gauge.

    The filter is visible from the wheel well on the drivers side. I may get a chrome cover for it. I would definity notice if it was gone.

    The filter is very well protected and does not hang below anything. I have no worries about parking or sidewalks or speedbumps.

    The hoses are only about 1ft long. I doubt there is much loss in pressure. Hopefully the larger filtration area compensated for any loss in pressure through the fittings which were all ported and polished for smooth flow.

    Thunderstorm A Comin

    I hate to rain on this party, BUT-your JC Whitney kit appears quite similar to the $79 part number M-6881-A54 remote adapter on page 88 of the 2005 Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog. And to quote-"NOTE: not recommended for performance engines". The similar M-6881-C100 kit says to use the M-6880-S instead for performance engines, which uses the (HUGE) M-6731-S ( 2 qt.?) diesel truck filter. Now, since it is well known in the USA that bigger is better, please go down to your nearest Wal-Mart and look at their Motorcraft oil filters for F350 late model (1980's to 2004) diesel trucks. There are only 2 applications-turbo and non-turbo and I believe they interchange. When you see how big they are and how big the threads are you will be ashamed of the wimpy little tiny girly-man FL-820 filters our MM's use. The M-Craft filters @ Wally-World are "street versions" of the racing filters which are even more heavy-duty yet. This is all probably over-kill for a street driven MM anyway but let's just say "it should have come from the factory with a remote filter". And yes, we do need more cowbell.

    The FL-1A the remote kit uses is 50% BIGGER than the stock FL-820S.

    Girley-men Filters

    [QUOTE]"The FL-1A the remote kit uses is 50% BIGGER than the stock FL-820S" ...The FL1A is puny compared to the Diesel truck oil filters, which are also reasonably priced, I might add. The M-6880-S mount has dual 3/4" pipe inlet and outlets. USA:bigger=better.

    Question

    Myself I would use the FL1A because it still fits very well in about any area you want to put it. Now, your right, the Diesel truck oil filters are bigger in every aspect but to be used in the same area might not a good idea. Where would you mount that kind of filter to where they wouldn't get torn out from under the car?

    Those Diesel Oil filters are that much bigger because they have to filter 14-16 Quarts of Oil....not 6 quarts.

    The Diesel filters are over-kill for street use (on a car, not a truck). That Canton sounds like a nice set-up for an MM. Some photo details would be nice! There is also a longer version of the FL1A that is said to hold 2 qt's.
