: Oil Cooler and Remote Dual Filter hoses

I have my new engine installed, with a new oil cooler. I am running a dual remote Amsoil filter system. I have new aftermarket lines, looking at the cooler lines and lines to the remote filter, I am thinking I can eliminate two of the oil lines.

Can I run the oil through the dual filters and then through the coolers and back into the filter adapter, and then either block off the stock cooler line outlet and inlet (on the block) or run a loop from out to in? Or could I run a line from the block to the dual filters to the cooler and back into the block and either block off the filter inlet/outlet or put a loop on it? Any other ideas how this will work properly? I want to make sure I am not taking oil away from anywhere.

I would like to eliminate some hoses, (fewer to leak) and clean up the engine bay at the same time.

Think it's a workable idea. I have the same issue on two trucks but just ran two new lines instead of combining them and it is tight in there now.

I did my cooler lines a couple of weeks back the cheap way by cutting out the crimped on fittings and putting 2 clamps on each hose, AND THEIR STILL LEAKING some. Time to find another alternative, wheres the best places for after market lines/remote filter mount set-ups?

CR,

I would talk to Greg at Lube Specialists. He is a supporting vendor and I have talked to him on the phone a couple times. When it's time for a bypass system and cooler lines for me, I am going with his products.

I was looking at his site yesterday, the lines looked a little expensive but to be fair i haven't compared elsewhere yet.
