IMO that would just encourage lazy people to wait that much longer to change their oil (myself included).

Waste of money. Stock works fine.

You are just asking for more leaks with that kit.

I would do this just because the SH oil filter is a bitch with the ATTS unit in the way.. but I would go for a single filter relocation kit that uses OEM filters.

So you want a cheap location kit and you think that you'll never leak again? You will have a greater chance to leak with this kit than the OEM Honda way.

If you knew how to change a filter properly you wouldn't be leaking in the first place.

I got a little mini relocation kit for my SH, as all the lines and the fuel pressure guage and what not make it a pain in the ***. Please tell me how to change an SH filter without dripping. ( without leaving the car sitting for 3 days ) You cant get to the filter from the bottom, only from the top under the intake manifold on the drivers side. Then you barely have enough room to pull the filter out.


I didnt do the dual filters as i saw no point to it. just a single summit racing relocation kit.

Yes SH is different.... but you put a rag under the filter then remove it. Then hit it with parts cleaner and you're done. The guy didn't specify if he had an SH or not though...

If you are afraid of a drip or 2 of oil you shouldn't be changing your oil anyways. The majority of the cheaper 'filter relocation' kits I've seen have leaked.

drain your oil first, wrap the filter in a rag, twist it off = no drip

Ok seriously... this thread is a joke.

Get the relocation kit if you want. They suck though and are more proned to leak.
