[DeTomaso] Dual Remote oil filters

And at what cost to engine life?
 
An upside down filter will empty itself over time, despite the "anti-drainback valve" (just a piece of rubber across the inflow holes) so when you start the car you will have no oil pressure for a while until they fill. Not to mention all that oil line that has to fill too
 
My Abarth racer had an extra remote filter which I had to take out of the system to prevent an anxiety-producing zero oil pressure for a few seconds after starting.
 
If you mount the extra filters mount them upside down so at least they are full after the car sits for a week or whatever.

   That's true too, it just looks cooler, but at what clean up cost.
