[C320-list] Remote oil filter

[Jeff Church]

Tim,

You don't need to move the filter. You can avoid the mess by fashioning a trough out of aluminum foil. Slide the trough under the filter and up against the engine block. Make a pan out of foil and place it on the sole under the end of the trough. As long as you are careful about the placement of these items, all the oil that escapes the filter will run down the trough and into the pan. I've done this about a dozen times with excellent results.

  I have the yanmar diesel. Has anyone moved the oil filter to the vertical position, and if so, what parts were purchased to make the move?
