Auxiliary / Isolated Oil Filters? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Earlthe3rd · 02-09-2014, 06:11 PM

I was browsing pictures of 69 c10's on flickr and i came across this photo of two isolated oil filters on the underbody of a truck?
Can anyone explain whats going on here?

Ahhhh, thanks.
I like the idea of the relocation, looks like it would be a little less messy during an oil change..

Now all it needs to filter it better is get rid of those fram filters and replace them with AC Delco or Wix filters.

How does one score a setup like that?

I wouldn't really say that its an overkill for a street engine since its just filtering oil and you never know whats really in your engine. However, I do know that if your not careful if you have alot of hose on top of two filters it might drop your pressure to low so your engine will starve of oil under higher demands.

I remember Fram featuring a setup like that on a Camaro years ago in one of their commercials.
