Oil Relocation Kit for 2016 Expedition - Does it Exist?

[NevadaRocks]

Hello All, I am getting really tired of reaching into that tiny port to change the oil filter on the 3.5 ecoboost. Has anybody tried to use a relocation kit to make life a bit easier? I see that Hayden has a #291 kit that should work based on the thread numbers and diameter. I am just wondering if it is too tight to mount the unit and hope that it will orient correctly so the bibs and hoses can be attached. Any information / experience would be greatly appreciated.

I know it's plastered all over the shield "DO NOT REMOVE", but after raising the front end, that's the first thing I do when doing an oil change. There's only 4 or 5 bolts and then there's LOTS of room.

What shield lol I left mine off.

Ha, I like the "what shield". It does seem like Ford did their best to close up the front end beyond reason. I finally convinced myself that none of the relocation kits were going to work, so I pulled out the plastic push in's holding the fiber skirt cover to expose the area pretty well. Put in nutserts instead of those plastic pins and used tee bolts to hold the skirt in place. That should make life a bit easier. Thank you for the comments.

Mine is under the drivers fender away from mud.
