where can i get a kit to not only relocate my oil filter, but to prime the engine's oil system before the car starts?
i've seen these before, but not had a car worthy of doing such a thing (or the $ to do it)
apparently with these systems it cleans the oil a hella lot more than a normal oil filter does, meaning you can go far longer between changes
google has failed me, or i'm not using the right search words


or, why woudn't i want to do this?
 
just switch over to synthetic oil and save some money. you dont need to overengineer your car with just a cai.

Thats fine for a daily driver that gets groceries and such, but the FS motors have a horrible oil pick up design that doesn't work worth a flip under aggressive driving. I haven't seen how the Mazda3's is done, but I'm not so trusting. I autoX at least twice a month and go to VIR when I can afford it. I've lost one motor already due to oil starvation and I'm not the only one. The FS motor also has a very bad dry cold start issue. Before I installed the Accusump the motor had a pronounced knock when it was first cranked until the oil pressure came up. Now it's smooth and quiet plus the added capacity of the Accusump and relocated filter give better cleaning and longer oil life. It is a big install for a car that isn't pushed hard, but my car is rarely driven easy.
