Description 

Standard Duty kit is not available at this time due to a parts supply shortage.

MM's Oil Filter Relocation Kit moves the oil filter from the stock location on the engine block to behind the front bumper. We designed it to use the large filters that are standard on Ford pushrod small-block engines.

Why move the oil filter?
Ford modular engines with factory oil coolers, such as the Cobra 4-valve, locate the stock oil filter in a position where it interferes with the MM K-member. Rather than compromising the entire front suspension structure just to accommodate the stock filter location, we designed the OC-8 and OC-9 kits to relocate the oil filter. Problem solved.

This kit is required when installing a Maximum Motorsports K-member on a 1999-2002 Cobra or 2003-2004 Mach One equipped with a modular engine and an OEM oil cooler (all 4.6L-based 4V Cobra engines, some 2V GT engines).

And another big bonus: Less mess!
This kit eliminates the hard-to-reach stock filter that always drips on your steering rack and K-member during oil changes. You can now easily access the new filter location from underneath the car, since it's in front of the fender liner and behind the front bumper. We've cleverly oriented the filter vertically to eliminate oil drain-back and the resulting annoying drippiness during filter changes.

This top-quality kit includes a billet aluminum engine adapter, billet aluminum remote filter mount, -10 AN hose ends, hose, commonly available large-capacity 302 Ford filter, all necessary mounting hardware, and detailed instructions with illustrations.

What's the difference? Standard Duty vs. Severe Duty
  • Not available at this time - Standard Duty has high-pressure textile braided hose, aluminum push-lock -10 AN hose ends, and an FL-1A Ford oil filter.
  • Severe Duty has PTFE-lined stainless-steel braided hose, aluminum swivel-seal -10 AN hose ends, and an FL-1HP Ford Racing oil filter.
  • Allows installing an MM K-member on a 1999-2002 Cobra or a 2003-2004 Mach One with a modular engine and a stock oil cooler, including all 4V Cobra engines and Mach One engines.
  • Increases oil filter capacity.
  • Reduces oil spillage when changing the filter.
Both kits include:
  • Billet aluminum engine adapter
  • Billet aluminum remote filter mount
  • -10 AN hose ends
  • Hose
  • All necessary mounting hardware
  • Detailed, illustrated instructions
Standard Duty kit includes:
  • High-pressure textile braided hose
  • Aluminum push-lock -10 AN hose ends
  • FL-1A Ford oil filter
Severe Duty kit includes:
  • PTFE-lined stainless-steel braided hose
  • Aluminum swivel-seal -10 AN hose ends
  • FL-1HP Ford Racing oil filter
Fits
1999-2002 Cobra and 2003-2004 Mach One with
  • 4V Cobra engine
  • Mach One engine
  • Most 4.6L-based modular engines, 2V or 4V, with a factory Ford oil cooler

Does NOT fit
2003-2004 Terminator engine because of its unique front engine dress.

Most 4.6L 2V modular engines do not have an oil cooler, and therefore may require additional hose fittings to avoid interference between the MM hoses and the swaybar, radiator hoses, and other stock components.

Why does this kit fit just these model years?
The design of the Mustang's steel front bumper support changed in 1999. The MM bracket that attaches the MM billet aluminum remote filter mount to the Mustang's front bumper support fits only these model years, but we also have relocation kits for other model years.

What's the main difference between the Standard Duty kit and the Severe Duty kit?
The Standard Duty kit has textile hose, while the Severe Duty kit has stainless-steel braided hose.
