Oil Filter Relocation Ki t (18x1.5mm)

The DERALE Oil Filter Relocation Kit (18x1.5mm) is a complete remote oil filter mounting system designed to relocate your engine's oil filter away from the engine bay for improved cooling, maintenance access, and thermal management. This universal kit accommodates engines with 18mm x 1.50 filter adapter threads and delivers a practical solution for street machines, track vehicles, and engine builds where underhood space is limited or engine heat needs to be minimized.

The kit includes a 1/2-inch NPT threaded housing adapter that connects to your engine block or remote mounting location, a 1/2-inch NPT thread adapter for filter assembly, 10 feet of hose for flexible routing, and all necessary fittings and hardware for installation. The 18 x 1.50mm adapter thread ensures compatibility with standard metric filter applications. By moving the filter element away from direct engine heat, remote mounting reduces oil temperatures during sustained driving, extends oil change intervals, and simplifies filter replacement without burning your hands or spilling hot oil in tight spaces. The 10-foot hose length provides enough reach to mount the filter in an underbody tray, side fender location, or custom bracket mounted to the chassis.

This setup is commonly used in track-focused builds, engine swaps, custom hot rods, and high-performance vehicles where every degree of oil temperature matters for engine longevity and power output. Builders who have relocated their oil filters report noticeable reductions in sump temperature and improved oil flow characteristics in extended driving sessions. The DERALE oil filter relocation kit accommodates universal installation across platforms with the specified 18mm x 1.5mm thread pattern, making it a flexible choice for custom engine builds and performance modifications.

Remote oil filter systems represent a straightforward upgrade in the broader category of engine cooling and thermal management accessories. Unlike passive cooling options, relocation actively reduces oil temperature by moving the filter out of the engine's radiant heat zone. The investment in routing hose and fittings is offset by improved oil longevity, easier service access, and the flexibility to customize mounting location based on your vehicle's layout.
