Q: How many rolls of paper towels does it take per oil change with that upside down oil filter?

 

[MojaveLawyer]

Installed American Adventure Labs raw inner fenders (front & rear), and the cowl mount. Modified the middle to make the bumpstop fit.

Cheers.

Watched a bird sit on left mirror and send a delicious turd down door to slider…..and then left promptly.

They replaced your gears in 75 minutes? I would be very uneasy about that.

yeah isn't that normally like a 6 hour job?

Finished up doing ball joints. Metalcloak support helped me out sorting some issues.
Steering feels really light now, I think I'm going to need to tighten up the castle nuts a touch more.

How you liking these so far & How was the install? Been eyeing these for quite some time.

It has a Schaefer valve that uses compressed air to push the oil out of the filter.

This is what I thought as well 4-6 hours. Not sure though.

I like the idea of the Baxter kit but not a fan of having to take that extra step of finding a mini bike pump to flush out the oil before removing the filter.

Curious if you can install a Baxter then add a filter relocation kit on top of it. Then relocate the filter at a location at the level of the oil sump.

Baxter actually makes that setup to plumb in for a filter relocation kit.

That being said, I run the Baxter setup with the filter up top. It really is not that big of a deal to plan around having a air source for the 30 seconds it take to evacuate the oil out and into the sump.

The one main drawback I find with it, is that you need to be committed to doing every oil change with it yourself or have a half-way intelligent mechanic know what they are looking at to do the oil filter changes. Taking it in to any dealer or quickie lube place is asking for disaster if they touch it at all.

Thank You for this. Did not know Baxter had a kit like that. BUT looks like you still have to purge the oil anyways.

Cleaned the filter out and decided to create a gasket for it...

What I had to work with...

Measure & sketch...

Created on Autodesk Fusion and transferred to the print program...

Prototyped in PLA. Fit like a glove!

Printed...

Installed...

This is my first go at printing with TPU and it is a PITA compared to PETG or PLA. I think the source for a lot the grief it was giving me was that the nozzle was too small. Lesson learned and will print some spares up in the future just in case.

You could try to make it from nylon instead. It's easier to work with than Petg imo, still soft enough to make a gasket from. The only annoying part is it's hygroscopic so it eats up water way more than other filaments if you're trying to store it.
