WRITEUP: How to install an aftermarket oil filter relocator kit

I wanted to add one more thing:
I believe Summit Racing sells just the relocator parts (the oil filter mount and the engine oil mount) separately. Thus, you might be able to save more money that way and just buy the hoses, hose ends and adapters separately. No doubt the kit I bought was more expensive b/c of the cheap hoses and hose ends that came with it

I bought the permacool kit and am planning on doing this Mod as well however I am also going to add a thermostatic switch and a external oil cooler. Thanks for the great writeup.

For anyone wondering, the 3vze and the 5vzfe's oil ports are 100% identical from what I can tell. So for those who want to install an Oil Pressure Gauge (or run a pressurized oil line to a turbo ) it will work just like the 5vzfe.
A Huge thanks goes out to Morphine for helping me figure that one out too. Taking pictures inside of your wheel well at night in flannel pj's does get the neighbors looking atcha oddly!

I'm only a few months behind reading this, but I'm glad you got it going Bob! Mine's been on my truck now for about 60K miles and I couldn't be happier. Since I'm running extended oil changes I'm glad to have large filter and the extra oil capacity.

fwiw, the cheapest I found it was from SDPC2000, $52.70 with shipping (Summit was at $54.83 with their "free shipping" concept):

stephen,
yes. and are you following my writeup? did you decide to buy the socketless? im not impressed by them, mainly because i couldnt get them to press flat against the end of the fittings. but they are holding, but i do check them every so often "just in case"

Yes I am following your writeup. I have priced a couple of different sets of fittings and hose from different manufacturers and they all are around the same price...That sucks about the fitment of the hose.
Anyone else use other fittings or hose?

I'm surprised you had so much trouble with the socketless stuff Bob. The guys at Racer Parts said they used it all the time for plumbing sprint cars. I wonder if there's some special assembly lube or special tools needed to get the hose onto the fitting all the way.
I'm sorry I recommended that now...

Before I install the filter I fill it as much as I can, wait for it to soak in, fill it again etc., then dump 6 quarts into the engine. I end up showing *slightly* overfull on the stick doing it that way. On my setup the lines don't really drain down when you shut the engine off so you don't have to account for that.

no problem. though racer parts said its ok to use regular 5w/30 oil as well. however, it just didnt seem to work and i had my very strong friend give it a go too
and yes, they do have a tool and special lube. maybe in 1.5- 2 years, ill buy it and try it out
