So far I have:
Derale 15749 dual remote filter kit.
3/4-16 to 1-16 nipple
And an Amsoil EaO15 and EaBP90.
Do you guys think that I should put a restrictor in the 1" nipple to ensure that there will be a limited amount of flow through the bypass filter? I know there wont be much flow anyway because the mount doesn't have the biasing spring that the Amsoil kit has, but wouldn't I be better off making sure that nothing could force too much oil through the bypass filter?
The vehicle is a 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid, and I have to mount the filters high up on the firewall, somewhat above the exhaust manifold. Do you think that the 4-6 feet of hose required will cause any problems with oil pressure during the dozens of engine restarts that happen constantly while driving? I may ditch the hose that comes with the kit and go for a heavy duty steel braided hydraulic hose to minimize pressure drop when the engine restarts.
Is the exhaust heat going to be too much, or will it potentially keep my oil up to temperature for increased filtering efficiency and fuel economy?
Any input on my plans is appreciated.
