Amsoil Dual Remote Mounting Orientation

[Doug_Fraser]

Hi:

I have used Amsoil Series 2000 oil and Dual Remote system on a 99 Ford Explorer for 7 years now. The motor has been the only reliable part on the truck - which I attribute to the oil and filtration system.

My wife recently purchased a 2007 Honda CRV and it's been changed over to Series 2000 oil and Amsoil filter. I am considering putting a Amsoil Dual Remote on the CRV. The issue is that there is very little available space in which to mount the filters. I have however found an area under the vehicle that with some skilled fabrication of mounts (and protective plate to guard against road debris) that I can mount the Dual Remote Assembly.

The length of the hoses will be less than 3 feet. Which should be OK.

The issue I have is that the filters will be horizontal. Is this OK?

On the Explorer I am using an SDF 26 and BE-100 filter. I would like to use these two filter on the CRV too. Are there any issues I should be aware of?

Thanks
Doug

Look at these bad boys, lots of folks do them horizontal, and I can't think of any reason (other than making a mess changing) why the filters can't be in any position.

That great - Thanks. I would love to mount the filters vertically but I just can find a spot to mount them.

Any comments on the use of the larger filters with the CRV?

Regards,
Doug

That will add huge oil volume, and should not be restrictive at all, the pump should be fine. Oil may be overcooled in super cold climates.

Thanks for the info.

I live in Vancouver BC and the winters are not really all the cold (usually around 32° F in the winter and often 40° for weeks at a time). We have a 2nd vehicle that we drive when we go to colder regions. Sounds like I should not have a problem.

Doug

I used to live in Lynden. We'd go to White Rock for the tourist thing, food, etc....so I'm familiar with the mildish climate.

Where do you have the system mounted on your Explorer?

Thanks ....

Hi Al:

I see you over at the Explorer Forum (where I have lurked for a couple of years - never posted).

I have the dual remote mounted behind the front bumper in front of the radiator on my 99 Explorer. It would be approximately where you have mounted your transmission filter (just a bit further over to the drivers side.

Easy access to change filters. Due to hose lengths, it does take a split second for oil pressure to develop when started cold.

Doug
