Anybody know if a remote oil filter is available for the V10? Please no AMSoil stuff...

Just to satisfy my curiosity, why would you want to mount a remote oil filter when the V10 filter is so easy to get to?

I know, I know...but my truck won't fit in the garage so oil changes in the winter suck. If I can limit the time spent laying on the ground then it'd be worth my $$. I plan on getting the Fumoto valve that NoMo provided a link to. Figure that'll save at least 7 minutes! And then if I could stand up wilst unscrewing my oil filter, that would be even better. Heck, I could then teach my boys (and girls) how to change daddy's oil in the truck! Woohoo!!

Plus remotes give you a bit more fluid capacity plus a bit more filtration efficiency if you go with dual filters, both a good thing!

Check with Summit, Jegs, & JCW for oil filter relocation kits. I know they exist because some F150s & Expeditions used to come with them from the factory. Our '97 Expy has one- the filter is behind the front bumper.

Monsta,

Try changing it in Alaska! I'd be in shorts and a T-shirt down in the lower 48...

Monsta, I ordered that cd tonight. I was a little leary, but trust your recommendation.

Also, check out lubespecialist.com for the Fumoto valve. $19.95 + $2.00 shipping. $1.00 more for the nipple version.

Thanks

Won't be long before this reference might be unacceptable. I know a large municipal fire dept. that no longer refers to couplings as male and female. 'Internal' and 'external' threaded couplings are the accepted reference.
