Derale Performance Engine Oil Filter Adapter Kit

Derale Performance Engine Oil Filter Adapter Kits

Derale Performance has been a trusted name in automotive thermal management for more than five decades. Engine oil filter adapter kits are one of the most practical products in Derale's lineup, serving as the critical interface between your engine's oil filter port and an external oil cooler — a combination Derale has refined into an art form. If you're adding an oil cooler to reduce engine temperatures under heavy loads, a properly engineered adapter kit is the first step, and Derale's pedigree in this space is hard to beat.

Why Engine Oil Filter Adapter Kits Matter

An engine oil filter adapter kit threads onto your engine's existing oil filter mount and creates a new flow path, routing oil through an external cooler before it returns to the engine. This simple addition can dramatically reduce oil temperatures in high-performance, towing, or off-road applications — extending engine life and protecting critical components from heat-induced wear. Without a quality adapter, even the best oil cooler in the world is just hardware sitting in a box.

What Sets Derale Apart in This Category

Derale Performance is a division of CP Auto Products, Inc., a third-generation family-owned business and a charter member of the original Speed Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) since 1963. That heritage translates directly into the engineering quality found in their oil filter adapter kits. Derale manufactures many of its products in-house and sources components from US-based suppliers wherever possible — a commitment to quality control that is immediately apparent in the fit and finish of their adapters.

Derale's oil filter adapter kits are designed to work seamlessly with their broader ecosystem of engine oil coolers and remote oil filter relocation systems. The adapters typically feature sandwich-plate-style construction that installs between the engine block's filter boss and the existing oil filter, providing an additional set of ports for cooler line connections without permanently modifying the engine. Many kits are available in multiple thread sizes to accommodate a wide range of domestic and import applications, making them a versatile solution for builders working across different platforms.

• Sandwich-plate design — installs without permanent engine modifications
