garrycol Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 You can install a shorter oil filter and that might fix your problem. A remote filter is mounted safe somewhere with piping running to the oil pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zardos Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I had the same problem and went with a remote oil filter I used a sandwich plate with top cover https://www.thinkauto.com/acatalog/On_line_shop_Take_off_plates_for_remote_filters_39.html I think it was the TOPO1C model (But I would check with Think Automotive - note the PC1 model does not work with 3.9's) And then something like RFH3A or RFH3B from https://www.thinkauto.com/acatalog/On_line_shop_Remote_oil_filters_40.html (again check with Think auto to make sure it meets your needs) Plus some appropriate pipe and connections This takes up 60mm to the centre of the top hat nut with the outside edge being less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
