To get a remote oil filter setup, you'll need to assemble the components yourself. This involves:
1. An oil filter relocation kit: These kits aren't specific to your year/model, but you need one that's compatible with the size and thread pitch of your oil filter (check your owner's manual or the filter itself). These kits usually contain fittings, hoses, and a mounting bracket for the remote filter. You can find these at auto parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA), online retailers (Amazon, eBay), or specialty performance parts suppliers. Search for "oil filter relocation kit" and specify the filter thread size if you know it.
2. Oil filter: You'll need an oil filter compatible with the relocation kit.
3. Hose: You may need additional hose depending on the kit and your desired placement of the remote filter. Make sure the hose is rated for oil and high temperatures.
4. Fittings (potentially): Depending on the kit, you may need additional fittings to adapt the hose sizes to your engine and filter.
Finding the right parts:
* Determine your oil filter size: This is crucial. Look at your current oil filter or your owner's manual. The size is usually stamped on the filter itself.
* Search online retailers: Use the oil filter size and "oil filter relocation kit" as search terms on Amazon, eBay, etc.
* Visit auto parts stores: Take your oil filter to a local auto parts store; they can help you find a compatible kit or individual components.
Important Considerations:
* Correct hose routing: Proper routing of the lines is important to avoid kinks or restrictions that could affect oil flow.
* Quality components: Use high-quality hoses and fittings rated for oil and high temperatures to prevent leaks and failures.
* Professional Installation (recommended): If you're not comfortable working on your engine, have a qualified mechanic install the relocation kit. Improper installation could lead to engine damage.
In short, there's no single kit, but piecing it together from readily available parts is feasible. Make sure you get the correct oil filter size to start.
