Oil Filter Clearance issues

Postby 92tegGP » Mon May 11, 2009 7:18 am

So if your like me you probably have a hell of a time getting your oil filter off if you got a big down pipe. Well i was always unbolting my downpipe and having to still pry my oil filter out of there. Well i did some research and found that you can use a Evo oil filter because they are alot smaller, so i went to the parts store and they are so small i started laughing so i took a video comparing the filter from my car to the evo oil filter. im not going to have clearance issues now.
Just thought id let everyone know of this little trick.

Ha, nice. I used to use the K&N filters. They were a little more expensive, but very small, and they also have a beveled front that a 1'' wrench fits on. Very easy removal.

If it's pissing you off still, hunt down a forward facing oil filter housing. I know JNZ has them:

Hmm thats clever i never seen anything like that before. I think this Evo oil filter usage is going to make it nice though. If more issues occur im going to pick one of them housings up :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure even if use a 7-bolt filter vs. a 6-bolt filter its way smaller as well. Just get a filter for a 94 model.
94 Talon TSi AWD..many mods to come.

I don't think I've ever had an issue at all with any exhaust. Ph3950 or equivalent on mine.
It whistles while it WORKS.

I suck.
