Dave,

If the installation involves running hoses to the remote location, I'd see
that
as an unnecesary extra leak risk.

I'm concerned about this, too. In addition I wonder if there is a noticeable
drop in oil pressure due to the extra resistance in the hoses.

Otherwise changing the oil filter in our Club's Warrior and Dakota IS a mess
and I never stay unstained ... ;-)

Regards

Kai
