Review on Derale 15715 Engine Filter Relocation by Christopher Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality

Everything you need is included. The engine manufacturer installed the filter upside down, which resulted in a very messy filter change. The filter is now easily accessible and installed right side up on the firewall. The aluminum fittings provided are straight and require inlet/outlet hoses for vertical connection to the filter housing. The oil in the hose above the filter will leak out when the filter is removed. I added 90 degree male fittings to reduce the number of hoses over the filter assembly. I couldn't find the right aluminum fittings, so I used gunmetal. Now look for signs of electrolytic corrosion. (Absolutely none after a few months.) Be sure to use yellow Teflon tape on the fittings. The white Teflon tape dissolves. To minimize contamination during an oil/filter change, it is still best to allow the oil time to drain away from the filter and back into the engine. Too bad I didn't install this product years ago.
