REMOTE FILTER MT 1-1/2in -12

The REMOTE FILTER MT 1-1/2in -12 is a specialized remote oil filter mount designed for high-performance and modified vehicles where traditional spin-on filter locations are impractical or restrictive. Built for enthusiasts and professional mechanics running aggressive engine builds, turbo conversions, or tight engine bay layouts, this mount allows relocation of your oil filtration system away from the block—freeing up space for intake manifolds, supercharger brackets, and custom plumbing. Remote mounting has become essential in modern performance builds where every cubic inch of engine compartment real estate counts.

This 1-1/2-inch -12 port remote filter mount utilizes industry-standard AN -12 (3/4-inch UNC) threaded ports for secure hose and adapter connections, ensuring reliable oil pressure delivery without leaks under sustained boost or high-RPM operation. The compact housing—measuring 6.2 x 4.6 x 6.5 inches and weighing just 1.4 pounds—mounts securely to frame rails, shock towers, or firewall locations with minimal weight penalty. The MT designation indicates a sandwich or block-mounted manifold-style design that accepts standard remote filter cartridges, offering superior flow rates and pressure drop characteristics compared to remote bypass systems, while the 1-1/2-inch body size accommodates full-flow filtering without restricting oil delivery to critical engine components.

Serious engine builders, turbo swap specialists, and track-focused mechanics rely on the REMOTE FILTER MT 1-1/2in -12 for LS swaps, drift builds, road racing platforms, and supercharged applications where conventional filter packaging conflicts with performance modifications. This mount integrates seamlessly with custom fabricated oil lines (using -12 AN hose) and pairs with remote filter housings and adaptors to create a fully customized cooling and filtration circuit. Installation requires routing braided steel or reinforced hose from the engine block oil galley to the remote location, then back to the pan—a straightforward plumb-in upgrade for builders with welding and hose-routing experience.
