Oil Filter Relocation.

I need to relocate the oil filter. It's incredibly inconvenient to have to prop up the car each time for the oil change. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Is a kit available.

i know there are kits out but i'm not sure if they'll work for our cars. IMO, our oil filters aren't too out of reach but you will need to raise your car. invest in a good jack and some jackstands cuz i'm sure you'll need them eventually

Tools and equipment is not the prob. My quest was relocation, regardless of anything else. I usually do the oil change out of the convenience of my home. I don't normally like to lug around all the equipment. I do the oil change at the spur of the moment, when time allows.

Just put a 3" suspension lift and 33" tires like on my wrangler, i can roll around under it without lifting it up at all, The lowest part of my car isn't even low enough for the jack anymore. It might be more convinient to remove your stock air box and intake manifold or is this not at your convenince?
