Ok so I have seen this a few times before, where people have modified the position of the oil filter so it is easier to access and ultimately easier to change.

My questions are these:
1. What are the benefits of relocating the oil filter (other than accessability)?
2. What all is involved in relocating the oil filter? What steps need to be taken? Supplies/Tools?

Thanks for your time.
Cheers.

I was also thinking of the same questions. Its a pain to get them things out at times when the oil filter just doesnt want to come out and tools are hard to get to them.

I was also thinking of connecting it to a oil cooler before it goes back into the motor. would that be safe? i've seen a fin like wrap-around that suppose to act as an oil cooler that you wrap around the filter. thats how i got the idea.

The motor would look better if steel braided lines were used for the relocation kit.
