Argo Manufacturing Engine Oil Filter Housing Mount

Argo Manufacturing Engine Oil Filter Housing Mounts: Racing-Grade Precision

Argo Manufacturing has built a reputation in the performance and racing world since 1985, designing and producing components in-house in the USA specifically for NASCAR and competitive racing circuits. Among their most trusted offerings are their engine oil filter housing mounts — engineered to handle the extreme demands of high-output, high-RPM engines where reliable oil filtration is a matter of engine survival.

Why Engine Oil Filter Housing Mounts Matter

In performance applications, oil filter placement is rarely as simple as bolting on a factory unit. Remote oil filter housing mounts allow builders and racers to reposition the filter to a more accessible location, optimize oil line routing, and ensure adequate filtration even under peak engine loads. A quality mount is the foundation of any remote oil filtration system — it must seal reliably, flow efficiently, and withstand the heat and vibration of a racing environment without compromise.

What Sets Argo Manufacturing Apart

Argo Manufacturing's filter mounts are CNC machined from billet aluminum, delivering both strength and precise tolerances that direct-pour or cast alternatives simply cannot match. The lineup includes both single-stage and two-stage designs to suit different filtration strategies. The two-stage configuration adds a 40-mesh, 381-micron screen filter alongside a 100 PSI bypass valve — a critical safety feature that keeps oil flowing even during overpressure situations. The screen itself is reusable and allows for easy visual inspection for metal particles or debris, making it a practical diagnostic tool as well as a filtration component.

Port options are available in both horizontal and vertical orientations on the single-stage mount, eliminating the need for sharp 90-degree fittings that can restrict flow or create potential leak points. All units feature porting on both sides of the housing, giving builders flexibility in oil line routing within tight engine bay or chassis constraints. The standard mount accepts a FRAM HP-6 filter, a widely available and proven high-performance filter element commonly found on race teams across the country.

The HPF300 and HPF301 series represent Argo's core remote filter mount products, with the HPF301 featuring 1-1/2–12 thread and 12 AN female inlet/outlet connections — a bolt-on unit ready for immediate installation on a properly prepared chassis or engine package. An optional stainless steel filter screen (part HPF303) rounds out the system for applications demanding the highest level of contaminant monitoring.

Built for Racers, Trusted by Builders

Whether you are building a dedicated race car, a performance street vehicle, or a specialty engine package, Argo Manufacturing's engine oil filter housing mounts deliver the durability and flow capacity that serious builds require. Their in-house USA manufacturing ensures consistent quality control on every unit — a standard that weekend warriors and professional pit crews alike have come to rely on.
