Re: Benifits of oil filter relocation?
Really convinience is the only benefit. Any time you add a remote oil filter, you run the risk of reducing oil flow and pressure to the engine. The path of oil goes from the pan, the pump, the filter, then the engine. Anything you add in the way will potentially reduce how much oil and how much pressure you can get to the engine.
Done properly, its not a big issue. Done improperly it ranges from simply reducing engine life to catastrophic failure in a short amount of time.
The only time I have ever used a remote filter was when there was no other choice because of some chassis or frame fitment issue when swapping engines.
