remote oil filter

hello- i got a trans dapt dual remote oil filter setup for christmas. its got 36" long 1/2" hoses that go to the remote filters. has anybody used one of these? i'm kinda of concerned about oil pressure, did you notice any change in pressure? i'm thinking this setup will add an extra quart of oil and get the filter away from the headers. any inputs?

One of the best things you can get for easier oil changes. I never had any problem with mine. I had it hooked up to my 4.3L S-10. It will require a little more oil. Just add the oil, start the motor to get oil in the filter and lines, shut it down and top it off.

i've gto remote filters on my camaro and jimmy. i wouldn't use the rubber lines and barbed fittings. go someplace that makes hydrolic hose and get a couple of lines made with AN fittings.

thanks for the replys.ede, i've got hoses that have a -8 fitting on 1 end and 1/2 " pipe thread on the other. any experience with these? i think they would be called pushlock hoses
