Coyote Oil Filter Relocation Kit

[JeepFlyer]

I have been looking at possible places to relocate the oil filter in my car. I'm using the Coyote and I have the stock relocation kit that comes with the complete kit. While I doubt this works for the Coyote, the only other mention of a relocation kit was from ClemsonS197 HERE.

I'm looking to relocate it for easy servicing, and to keep the underside of the car as clean as possible. Has anyone gone with a relocation kit, instead of just a smaller filter, and if so what works?

Thanks

Hi Wes, just finishing this up now. Fabricated a mount for the relocator on the x-frame just in front of the engine. Used the relocation plug for the Coyote (because the one that comes with the complete kit doesn't fit). However, we are needing to find 90 degree elbows (Street Fitting) so that we can fit the hoses on the relocator (on the engine) and run them to the new filter (otherwise with the straight fittings coming out of the relocator plug they almost run into the frame). The length of the hoses will be about 14". Finding the elbow has been difficult, but think I have a lead on them and will pick them up tomorrow to double check. If they work, I'll let you know. If it all works as planned, I'll send you some pictures if you'd like.

I ended up just using a shorter filter. Get one that's for a 2010-2012 Cadillac CTS-V.

akpingel,

Sorry to kick a dead horse here. I'm trying to order parts without being in the same country as my car.

Are those 120 degree fittings -10 AN O-ring fittings? The Ford Racing Parts site says that but I just wanted to confirm. Also, do you know what it means when it says it includes "adapter to block O-rings" does it just mean it includes a block off plug?

Where did you get the oil filter mount in your second picture?

Small leak from my Oil Filter Relocator unit. Any chance you have a part # for the Cadillac filter you mentioned? And are you still happy with that solution?

Napa 7060 or equivalent. I used a Mobile 1 filter from my local AutoZone as Napa was out of stick. I just specified to the guy at the counter for a filter for a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V and the computer soit out the right one.

Not sure who to thank for the oil filter number (Clemson or Bansheekev), but I used a Oil filter for a 2012 Cadillac CTS-V, a WIX P/N: 57060 and it worked great! Saved me a ton of money on a relocator kit that I really didn't want to have in there anyway (since their lines always leak). Thanks again!

Your pictures look great. Did you get the 120 degree fittings from Ford racing with the block fitting? Do you member the part numbers? I mounted the oil filter remote on the front "X" on my Mark I using AN lines and have never regretted it. Now facing the issue at the engine block with the Coyote.

I purchased the FFR coyote install kit which uses 1/2" lines for the remote oil filter in the hot rod. To improve the fit I installed 90 degree -8 AN fittings with new Twist-tite hose from Summit. Today I spoke with Ford Racing about the controls pack wiring and finished with a question on pre-oiling the motor. They said to disconnect the ignition feed and spin the motor until I had oil pressure. I did mention that I had a remote filter application and they highly recommended the use of -10 AN lines at a minimum. Just wondering what everyone else has done for this. I hate to put $100 worth of parts in the drawer but don't want to ruin a new motor. The soft lines are about 15" in length.

Because Ford said that most motor failures are do to improper hookup of the remote oil filter, I'd like to verify the following sequence. Block adapter Out to remote filter adapter In, remote filter adapter Out to block adapter IN.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I have run the FFR remote oil filter in my MKI for twelve years with no problems and no drips. Have AN-10 lines from the block to the remote, through the oil cooler and back. I am now putting a Coyote in a MK3.1 and plan to use the Ford Racing adapter at the block with the same 120 degree fittings as shown in the akpingel pictures above. This setup is a little spendy but makes a clean and worry-free installation. Plan to use the FFR filter bracket mounted on the front X member and a cooler that I have not chosen yet.

Your note from Ford Racing to spin the motor to get oil pressure is a good idea anytime you are starting a motor that has been sitting a while. This process will also fill the filter, cooler, and the lines. Make sure that you increase the oil capacity of the system to allow for the additional components and lines.

Your system line-up is correct.

Good Luck,

Dennis

Here is what I did for pre-oiling... 1990 5.0l oil pump from the parts store ($25) and the kit supplied remote oil filter setup tapped into the oil pressure port. I had 90 psi within 1/2 second at startup...

Spinning a dry motor to get oil pressure didn't seem inviting...

C'mon, NM is still a state.

The Coyote package comes with a reloc kit. The Coyote Engine-Fitment-in-Roadster manual addresses its installation. I'm not using mine (went with the short filter and shims instead). You are welcome to mine for a small cost + shipping.

Outstanding pre-start oil pressure setup! I can't tell you I have ever thought of that approach before. Does that mean you are up and running? Did you oil pressure hold steady or fluctuate as others have experienced?

Congrats,

Dennis

Yes, I'm up and running. The oil pressure fluctuates with temperature and rpm. About 90 psi at idle/cold and about 50 psi at idle/up to temp. Step on the gas and it jumps up to 90psi again. BTW, can't take credit for the pre-oiler, it was Dave Borden's idea I borrowed.

[bansheekev]

BTW the oil pressure fluctuating is normal for almost any modern car. Since this is a production motor it doesn't surprise me...

That's pretty slick, using the oil pump to pre-lube the engine! I'll have to remember that. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,
I also went with a shorter filter. I didn't want to introduce another possible leak area and a catastrophic failure. Fram #PH10060 or Wix/Napa #57060.
As far as a pre-oiler I went cheap and simply used a generic garden sprayer threaded into the pressure guage location. Fillthe tank pump it up and pull the trigger. Dead simple.
Regards,
Andy

Hey I apologize I do not check this site often. I bought the 120* fittings from ebay. I bought the block from american muscle P/N .

Jeep: yes the fittings are an10 O ring. I am nott sure what it means in regards to blocking off the o-rings. You will need a plug to block off the oil pressure sensor if you move it like I did. If I recall correctly, it did not fit will with the an10 hoses there. The filter is mounted on the xmember (engine side). I made the mounting bracket out of a piece of aluminum I got from Lowe's.
