Derale Polished Aluminum Oil Filter Mount, Ports-Up 1/2 in NPT, 3/4-16 Center Thread, Universal Three-Bolt Flange

Derale's polished aluminum oil filter mount provides a secure, high-flow remote mounting point for your oil filter with 1/2" NPT female inlet/outlet ports and a 3/4-16 center thread.

This compact, universal mount is designed to relocate a spin‑on oil filter away from the engine block for easier access, improved packaging, and cleaner engine bay routing. Machined from quality aluminum and finished with a bright polish, the unit includes a rugged three-bolt mounting flange and standard threads to accept most aftermarket and OE-style spin-on filters. It’s intended for use wherever a remote or differently positioned oil filter is needed, whether for engine swaps, clearance issues, or custom plumbing.

How does this mount make oil filter access easier?

By moving the filter to a more convenient or visible location, routine service becomes quicker and less messy. The up‑facing ports and center thread orientation reduce awkward reach and allow gravity‑assisted draining during changes.

• Center 3/4‑16 thread accepts common spin‑on filters
• Ports-up layout simplifies hose routing and draining
• Three-bolt plate provides a solid, repeatable mounting point

Will this fit my vehicle and aftermarket filters?

Yes — the mount uses industry-standard connections to maximize compatibility. The 3/4‑16 center thread is widely used on spin‑on filters, and the 1/2" NPT female ports accept standard fittings or adapters for most oil lines.

• 3/4‑16 center thread for widespread filter compatibility
• 1/2" NPT female inlet/outlet ports for standard fittings
• Universal mounting plate works with many bracket setups

What materials and finish does the mount use?

The body is cast from high‑quality aluminum to balance strength and light weight, then polished for a bright, protective appearance. The finish resists corrosion and improves engine-bay aesthetics without heavy weight penalty.

• High-strength aluminum casting for durability and low mass
• Ultra-bright polished finish for corrosion resistance and appearance
• Heavy-duty three-bolt flange ensures secure installation

How do I install and seal the connections safely?

Mount to a sturdy bracket or flat surface using the three-bolt plate, torque fasteners to the vehicle or bracket manufacturer specs, and use proper thread sealant or PTFE tape on the 1/2" NPT fittings. Hand‑tighten the spin‑on filter to the 3/4‑16 center stud and tighten per filter manufacturer instructions to avoid leaks.

• Secure to chassis or custom bracket via the 3‑bolt plate
• Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT fittings
• Follow filter torque recommendations to prevent cross‑threading

This Derale oil filter mount is ideal for weekend builders, performance shops, and anyone needing to re‑route or remote mount a spin‑on oil filter. It suits engine swaps, vehicles with tight accessory layouts, or custom plumbing projects where accessibility and clean routing matter. Choose this polished aluminum unit when you want a durable, attractive mounting point that uses standard threads and fittings for easy integration into most oil systems.
