I have an oil filter relocated under the battery. It has many benefits, ease of changing, larger filter, more capacity, easy access to a pressure and return line for FI applications etc. The key is to make sure the filter is lower than the original, so the oil stays in the line to ensure oil supply upon startup. One thing to make sure of is use good hose and fittings. The focus puts out over 100 psi cold oil pressure for the first few minutes, I found this out the hard way twice. Don't DO NOT use the hose that comes with the kits, they will not survive. I now have 200 psi line and fittings, which turned the project from $30 to $200, but it's still well worth it in my book. Some people will badmouth this idea, but if done properly, it's great. I have photos but nowhere to host them, so pm me if you want to see and I'll email em to ya. Later doods
