| Post subject: | Move up the white oil filter |
Hi I just finished the preparation of my CRD 05. Like you can see on the pics below, the white oil filter its very close the skids. Here in france, i know that the 01-04 crd kj have a callback campaign to move up the filter. But nothing on the 05. Someone did this move ? Any tips to do it its very appreciate 
Thanks for for your help

Our filters are at the same location/angle. But the Jeep skid plates (and the aftermarket ones available here) are lower. They do not have the angled portion that raises it up above the level of the lower A-Arm front suspension frame, but rather are level wtih the bottom of that frame. I like the greater clearance available with your skid, though. Is that aluminum? There are no relocation campaigns here, from DC. However, it is a stock thread on the oil filter mount, so you could just get an aftermarket relocation kit and move it. |

From the looks of it, you need to tighten your oil filter as well, looks like oil dripping off the end of it onto the skid plate. |

No, that's just because it's a cheap (in quality...not price) Mopar filter. My original Mopar filter leaked like that too. But it was so tight that I almost couldn't get it off. I think you could buy a kit to move the filter, but I'd look into it some more before you do. Could be a tough project. |
