Earl's Performance Engine Oil Filter Remote Mounting Kit

Earl's Performance Engine Oil Filter Remote Mounting Kits

When it comes to high-performance fluid plumbing, few names carry as much credibility as Earl's Performance. Founded by Earl Fouts in 1955 in Lawndale, California, the company's original mission was to supply high-quality military aircraft surplus plumbing components directly to the racing industry — and when that surplus market dried up, Earl pioneered the range of hoses and fittings still used in motorsports today. That same precision engineering ethos carries directly into their engine oil filter remote mounting kits, making them a go-to choice for builders who demand leak-free reliability under pressure.

Why Remote Oil Filter Mounting Matters

In high-performance builds, the stock oil filter location is often impractical or even incompatible with custom engine bays and engine swaps. Machined from lightweight cast aluminum, these remote mounts are especially useful in high-performance vehicles where quick, easy access to an oil filter is desired. Whether you're chasing horsepower on the track or building a clean show-quality engine bay, relocating the oil filter opens up critical clearance and improves serviceability.

Earl's Remote Mount Product Lines

Earl's offers remote oil filter mounting solutions in two distinct construction styles to suit different build goals and budgets:

• Billet Aluminum Remote Oil Filter Mounts (e.g., 2178ERL): The Billet Remote Oil Filter Mount allows you to move your oil filter to an easy-to-reach location, featuring 10 AN O-ring ports, a 1/8" NPT port, and dual inlets/outlets for easy plumbing from either side. The lightweight aluminum construction comes with a black anodized finish for a clean, corrosion-resistant look.
• Cast Aluminum Remote Oil Filter Mount Kits (e.g., 2177ERL): These cast mounts feature 1/2" NPT ports and a female 3/4"-16 thread for single filter mounting, with fitment options including GM LS2/LS3/LS6/LS7 and 1997–2003 LS engines.
• Application-Specific Relocation Kits (e.g., HEMI0003ERL): Because the factory oil filter location on the Gen III Hemi can interfere with the crossmember or suspension in engine swaps, Earl's oil filter relocation kits allow the filter to be moved to a remote location — and everything needed is included: block-off adapter, adapter fittings, push-on hose, hose ends, and the remote filter adapter.

Engineering That Sets Earl's Apart

In the 1960s, Earl's Plumbing made its mark with the introduction of flexible stainless-steel PTFE-lined hoses, and later developed the patented self-indexing Swivel-Seal adjustable hose end, which allows 360-degree adjustment after installation. That dedication to precision carries through to their remote filter mount hardware. An extra 1/8" NPT port on the billet mount can even be used to attach a mechanical oil temperature gauge, adding an instrumentation option that many competing mounts overlook. The kits are designed to integrate seamlessly with Earl's broader AN plumbing ecosystem, so you can pair a remote mount with matching hose ends, adapters, and lines for a clean, professional-grade installation.

Whether you're doing a ground-up custom build, an engine swap that demands extra clearance, or simply want easier access to your oil filter during maintenance, Earl's Performance remote mounting kits bring race-proven engineering to the job.
