OIL GUARD install

Unless I fab a new bracket, installing the OIL Guard filter next to or near the main oil filter is next to impossible. At least for me. Can I safely install it about 3ft down the rail if I have enough hose ?

Check the gallery pictures F250_ has posted. He did some great work on his OilGuard install.

Yes.

Yes you can, I put mine in the first available space on the outside side of the drivers frame rail. Used the holes already in the frame without drilling new ones. Good Luck
