    Hi all,

    I have just brought a System One filter with remote mount and oil pump adapter, what size lines should I be using?

    oil lines

    I run a -20 from the pan to the pump. But from the pump most people run -10 /-12 Like fuel lines, there are large pressure drops when the ID of the hose gets larger.. I would assume it is a compromise between flow and pressure.. I pick up my readings from the furthest point from the pump. Right or wrong I have been doing it that way for years. Just my way of doing it. Good luck Don

    We run AN16 from pan to pump, and AN12 pump to filter.
    110-120psi idle pressure , and app 80 right after burnout, then back to 110+.
    This with -70 oil in Nostalgia nitro F/C.
