I recently acquired an '07 DB9 that has suffered cat ingestion. Full story here. I'm in the process of reassembling and decided to install a remote oil filter for obvious reasons. With a slight modification to the kit I'll be relocating both the oil filter and the oil cooler. I've not had this car fully assembled, so I'm not sure where there will be easily accessible (or at least more easily accessible) room when all the pieces are back in place. For those of you who have considered this option, where is your ideal spot?

 

Are you planning to make the filter accessible from above or below?

Also if you need a walk around of an assembled engine bay, you can video call me and I can show you around my 09 DB9 engine bay.

 

That’s very kind of you.

I have things almost completely back together. I’m not seeing much room at all for it without moving it quite a ways. If it was just the filter I could find a spot, but the plan was to move the oil cooler with it and that makes it a little too bulky to put most places. Either above or below doesn’t matter as long as it’s easier to get to.
