Anyone use a remote oil filter?

I have one of these dual remote oil filters and I nned a new adapter plate for my external oil pickup. I am just wondering if I should use the milodon cover or some how adapt the dual oil filters

I only run one filter, but I do run the Milodon pump cover. I'll try to post a picture. Really makes filter changes more pleasant.

ALL those Xtra lines ? ... NOT ferr me. Keep something like this simple.

Milodons kit 21525 shows a part you need to run that dual filter set up. I have a new cover with the adapter assembly to run 2 filters like you need. I run a remote with 1 filter.

Here's the link to a milodon page to look at the parts.

On the racecar, I run the Moroso remote filter mount and the big Chevy truck 2-quart filter, plumbed with -10 from (Diamond's) fittings in the block. Easy maintenance, plenty of filtration, and an extra quart of oil in the motor that's not in the pan.

Check the oil flow capability on your oil filter.The milodon pumps 19 gpm at idle.More as RPM's come up.If the filter you use has a bypass,it opens and your not filtering because the by-pass is open.I run a duel filter set up with 2 Moroso filters that flow 16 GPM with NO bypass

Yes use a cvr remote billet mount. Love it easier to change filter and now no oil in my collector.

this Fram mount has removable top with a screen inside for doing quick checks plus i also installed a magnet. only minutes to check & has been very reassuring to be able to do so.

All the stock production, Hi Po and replacement oil filters for both Ford and Mopar V8 have built in bypasses in them I did some oil filter tests on one of my dyno tests years ago, I was looking to gain HP by using more than one stock type Hi Po replacement oil filter on a dual remote oil filter adapter. IHTMS No gains seen using Ford, Mopar oil filters I did test one of the older Oldberg screen type filters and a new single HP6 type remote filter mount with a Wix Brand filter they didn't gain any HP but they didn't lose oil pressure above 5600 RPM like the other remote mounted adapters did I ended up using a Milidon oil pump cover that we had drilled and tapped for 1/2 inch NPT threads and #10 AN fitiings to feed the Oldberg and Fram remote HP6 single filter adapter. I now only use the single remote mounted oil filter adapters that use the HP 6 type oil filters I use #12 AN fittings now instead of the #10 also. Bigger is better on some things

If you do it to make the filter easier to reach, then yes, they are nice! if you do it to avoid spilling oil at oil change time, don't get one!

when I mounted mine, that was the first thing I thought, "hey, now I don't have to worry about trying to catch oil as it dribbles off the filter and all over the place" you know, how sometimes it streams straight down, other times it runs down the filter first, or a combo of both, then as you spin the filter off the rest of the way you get oil all over your hands...

but, even with it mounted "verticle" there's still oil "on top" of the filter that drains out when you remove the filter. if anything, THAT made a bigger mess than the stock location.

Please note,BYPASS OPENS @ 22 PSI

I cut the Wix racing oil filter apart that I used on the new 505 motor that I dyno tested last month, it is the same type as the HP6, and it did have a bypass in it on the bottom I didn't know that it would bypass at 22 lbs I thought, before I cut it apart, that it was a non bypass filter like the GM are Oh well, back to the drawing boards

The fram filter flows 20 GPM,my 100 year old milodon oil pump flows 19 GPM at an idle.I use a double oil filter set up with Moroso white filters that have NO BYPASS!!

Most of the time the bypass is open with the fram filter,not filtering 85% of the oil


Like Fred says,,,,,,,,,,don't ask me how I KNOW

wrong.it does not open unless there is 22 lb of resistance to the oil flow. It could also opened from a blocked filter or thick oil due to low temperature. if it didn't then oil flow to the enginewould stop. better unfiltered than none
