Oil Filter Mount 13/16 -16 Thread

The Oil Filter Mount 13/16 -16 Thread from WIX Racing Filters is engineered for high-performance engine builds where reliability and precision matter. This remote oil filter adapter serves serious engine builders, race mechanics, and automotive enthusiasts who demand control over cooling and filtration placement on custom-built engines. Whether you're constructing a stroker engine, installing a custom cooling system, or optimizing fluid management on a track car, this mount provides the foundation for professional-grade oil system integration.

The 13/16-inch -16 UNF thread pattern is the industry standard for high-flow remote filter applications, delivering compatibility with both classic and modern engine platforms. WIX Racing Filters engineered this mount with precision-machined surfaces and robust construction to handle sustained high-pressure circulation systems common in modified engines. The compact footprint—measuring 4.1 x 4.0 x 4.2 inches and weighing only 0.65 pounds—allows flexible mounting in tight engine bays without sacrificing structural integrity or oil flow capacity. This threaded interface accepts standard -16 filter heads and adapters, enabling seamless integration with existing racing fuel and coolant infrastructure.

Fabricators and engine builders benefit most when relocating filters away from cylinder heads to improve underhood airflow and reduce engine bay temperatures. Remote mounting also simplifies service intervals and extends filter life by positioning the element in a cooler zone. Installation requires identifying a solid mounting surface on the block or custom bracket, then threading the 13/16 -16 stud securely and connecting via braided hose or rigid lines. Verify your specific engine platform supports this thread size before ordering; compatibility spans many Chevrolet small-block variants, Ford FE platforms, and race-specific engine families using metric or UNF standardized filter bosses.
