Increased Oil Capacity
The trend to downsize engines over the past several years has significantly reduced oil sump capacities. By installing the dual remote system, oil sump capacity can be increased up to 50 percent. By adding more oil to the system, less strain is put on the oil and its additives. This dramatically increases the oil’s service life.
The dual remote mount is designed to make filter and bypass filter
changes easy and convenient. It accomplishes this by using a remote filter mount that is easily installed in an accessible area of the engine compartment. The mount is connected to the engine block by two oil lines and a special spin-on oil filter adapter.
The spin-on adapter replaces the engine’s full-flow filter, using machined thread adapters that allow the dual remote system to fit about 98 percent of all car and light truck applications in the United States. Ports in the adapter provide both a source of oil and a place to return it to the engine.
