There are not numerous cars, be they auto, truck, SUV, van or motorcycle, that don’t have a remote oil filter kit available. A remote oil filter kit is not terribly expensive either. It will likely cost less than $ 100. Even when you have a mechanic install it, the job is not complicated or time consuming and shouldn’t cost much. A bypass valve is installed, and send/return hoses run from the original oil filter location to where the new oil filter and mounting bracket are located.

Very little downside

There is no downside to installing a remote oil filter. There is the initial cost, but there’s a payoff is for the DIY auto repair crowd. All it does is make things easier on your mechanic, if you don’t change your own oil. If you do, it makes oil changes easier. The only thing you will have to crawl under the hood for is to remove and replace the oil drain plug. You need to be changing the oil about each and every 3,000 miles anyway. The filter is changed just like normal.

The good the bad and also the oily

Putting in a remote oil filter is not terribly complex or expensive. It won’t save you a lot of cash, but simply makes your own maintenance just a little easier. It does minimize the time you need to be under the automobile, and it can be an advantage if you drive a car or other vehicle that is low to the ground.
