Derale Performance Engine Oil Filter Remote Mounting Kit

Derale Performance Engine Oil Filter Remote Mounting Kits

When your engine's stock oil filter location makes routine maintenance a cramped, messy ordeal, a remote mounting kit is the practical solution — and few names carry more credibility in this space than Derale Performance. Based in Los Angeles and operating as part of US Motor Works' Performance Division, Derale has built a reputation as a leader in performance cooling and filtration products, and their engine oil filter remote mounting kits are a prime example of their engineering focus: smart design, quality materials, and hassle-free installation.

What Sets Derale Apart in Remote Oil Filter Mounting

Derale's remote mounting kits are engineered around a core commitment to accessibility and durability. Die-cast aluminum construction is the foundation of their filter mounts, delivering corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in the demanding under-hood environment. The kits are crafted from durable aluminum with a bright finish, ensuring both long-lasting performance and a clean, professional appearance in the engine bay.

Spin-on adapters provide external oil lines to allow the addition of an engine oil cooler and/or remote filter mount, installing at the stock engine oil filter location — meaning Derale kits aren't just about moving the filter, they also open the door for integrating auxiliary cooling components. This modularity is a key differentiator for enthusiasts who want to build out a more complete oil management system over time.

Key Product Lines and Features

Derale offers both single-mount and dual-mount configurations to suit different applications and filtration goals:

• Single-Mount Relocation Kits (e.g., #15748, #15780, #15715): These universal single-filter kits allow the oil filter to be relocated to a convenient, easy-access location, and include a high-quality, die-cast aluminum filter mount with 1/2" NPT ports and a spin-on adapter with most everything needed for installation.
• Dual-Mount Relocation Kit (e.g., #15749): This universal dual-filter kit allows two oil filters to be relocated to a convenient, easy-access location, and includes a high-quality die-cast aluminum 1/2" NPT ports-up filter mount and spin-on adapter.
• Side-Port Filter Mounts (e.g., #25709, #15709): The single side ports with 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet ports make it easy to relocate the oil filter, ensuring that messy filter changes under the vehicle are a thing of the past.

Universal Fitment and Broad Compatibility

Derale kits are compatible with the widely available 3/4-16 filter thread standard and are designed to fit most passenger vehicles with 2-1/2" to 3-1/2" oil filter landings , making them a genuinely versatile solution for a broad range of cars and trucks. By enabling the use of larger oil filters, these kits can also help improve oil filtration efficiency, contributing to better engine performance and longevity.

Each kit is designed as a complete package. Complete kits typically include 1/2" hose barb fittings, a spin-on adapter, side-port filter mount, filter adapter ring, threaded nipple, O-rings, NPT plugs, and mounting screws — so builders and weekend wrenchers alike get everything they need out of the box. Whether you're building a hot rod, a tow rig, or simply want easier oil changes on a daily driver, Derale's remote mounting kits bring professional-grade engineering to the task.
