Does anyone make a oil filter relocation kit? If not I'm looking into making them. Is there a market for them. Who's interested, and how much is it worth to you?

 

There are several generic kits that fit a Mazda, but the real point is why would you need one?

Its not like the oil filter is hard to reach on a SA/FB or a FC. Probably the simplest of any car I know.

 

Im almost positive mazdatrix makes them along with a dual setup. I gotta check though. The dual setup would be worth it to me.

 

What is the purpose of this?

 

yeah, what would be the advantage of this?

 

think vic british has em

 

i hate the way when you take it off oil runs all over.

 

That's one of my reasons for wanting one, Plus I don't like a dry oil filter when I change my oil. I like to fill it up when I change the oil. And i'm doing a front mount and it will be easier to move it than take my IC pie off to change the oil.

 

Where do you feel the ideal location would be on an FC?

 

Only does that if you don't know how to pop the filter before removing it.

Get a screwdriver poke a small hole in the top (just enough to vent it) and let it sit for 15 minutes before unscrewing it.

It will be empty and not dump oil everywhere then when you unscrew it.

 

Actually it'll be easier and cheaper to get a proper TB connector instead of reusing the stock one. Not only will the oil filter be easily accessed without removing anything, but you'll remove a substantial flow restriction.

 

I've never had that problem, and I am not doing anything special like poking a hole to the filter. IMHO, it is definetly the easiet location I've ever seen

 

I retarded cuz i never thought of that. I have had oil run a little b4 but it didn't bother me cuz i knew the engien would be coming out, but when the new 1 goes in i'll have to try this

 

whats the advantage of running dual filters? just the extra filtration?

 

this car is the best to change oil on ever, i dont even know where you would relocate to.

 

Yeah whenever I change the oil on mine I always poke a hole in it, and I honestly have never had any oil go pouring down the side of the engine.
