I had one from Downey a few years back.. took it off.. couldnt keep it from leaking horribly...

If you change your filter in the morning after the engine has been off allnight you wont get any oil running down the block.....

Honestly...the filter on the 22RE is in a much more preferable place than some motors.

On my retarded Ford it's mounted vertically, and upside down on the passenger's side of the oil pan. It literally took me 20 mins to find the filter when I first got under there to change the oil.

Best bet is to change your oil in the morning before going anywhere. Like on a saturday if you work during the week.

I had a "git" one from Oberg.
It came with a "universal" adapter (akak threaded bushings that fit into the adapter).

The hoses constantly leaked.
The filter was a PITA (Oberg 5.5" Daytona) and leaked.

I gave up and changed over to a "one peice" adapter (I think a Ford one fits), and used AN fittings (Earls = $$$) and -10 hose and a industrial Oberg 6" filter.

Its MUCHO easier to clean the filter now (reusable).
It no longer leaks (AN works on military planes - sot it works on Toyotas).
It has a cleanable filter (better for the environment - less waste).

Im not sure it filters as fine as an OEM filter - but it has ALSO saved me in that I detected the timing chain cutting the TC cover via alum bits in the oil filter.

IMHO - if you are going to do this - do it with AN fittings and a one peice adapter...

The very best option would be the amsoil dual remote filtration kits... top of the line hoses/fittings and you get a bypass filter that will keep your oil much much cleaner, and if usisng synthetic leangthen the service life of the oil...
