where to relocate the oil filter

[s15ollie]

was wondering where abouts people have relocated there oil filters?

 

[subzero]

relocated mine fairly close, just up below the strut brace .

why would you relocate your oil filter? what sort of benefit does this give? other than easier access..
cheers

because unless you have small hands, they are in a mongrel place to get to, and iI have had them get stuck and theres next to no room for a clamp of any kind to get a good grip

with the greddy relo kit you can connect the sensors for gauges as well .... oh and so convenient to change the filter .

Mount it the lowest point you can, so that the oil can actually drain out of the lines/oil cooler when you pull the filter to do an oil change. I've mounted mine on the drivers side chassis rail at the front near the tow hook. No chance of it being hit from anything there either as the lowest point of the filter is above the chassis rail.

Bad photo, but the tow hook is lower than the filter, and also the tension control brackets are way lower:
