F150 EcoBoost Remote Oil Filter Installation Project

Like every F150 owner I cuss about the location of the oil filter.  It's plain to me that the engineers who designed the oil filter location have never worked on a vehicle unless it was on a stand... probably with a K-cup dispenser built in.  Clearance and access are awful and it is impossible to change without spilling oil everywhere.

I decided to install a Derale relocation kit.  I tossed the crappy unmarked hoses and hose clamps.  I had braided sleeve hoses fabricated by South Houston Hydraulic (shhydraulic.com).  I had to swap out the oil filter holder for a horizontal one from Derale.  All in all the project cost me around $250.
