Ford Duratec Remote Oil Filter Plate
Engineered to optimise oil flow and pressure, while providing remote filtration and integrated oil monitoring.
Designed around the Ford Duratec platform with a focus on reducing unnecessary oil-flow restrictions for competition, performance and engine-conversion applications.
Designed to optimise oil flow and reduce unnecessary restriction.
The MODESTY Ford Duratec Remote Oil Filter Plate was developed with oil flow at the centre of the design.
Its internal passages and primary connections are designed to minimise unnecessary restrictions, while providing flexibility for remote filtration, cooling and oil-system monitoring.
Beyond the Factory Oil System.
The original filter arrangement was designed around the requirements and packaging constraints of a road car.
Competition applications and engine conversions can place different demands on the oil system, making oil-path design and connection sizing important considerations.
Flow and Pressure in Mind.
The primary connections and internal passages are engineered to provide an efficient transition into a remote oil circuit.
The design also accommodates remote cooling and integrated oil pressure and temperature monitoring.
Precision-Machined. Purpose-Designed.
Machined from billet aluminium, the MODESTY plate features dual M22 × 1.5 ISO 6149 primary oil ports for supply and return.
Three additional M10 × 1 ports provide integrated pressure and temperature monitoring positions.
Oil Pressure & Temperature Monitoring.
Dedicated monitoring ports are incorporated directly into the plate, reducing the need for additional T-pieces within the oil circuit.
Two central M10 × 1 ports provide pressure monitoring positions, including the option to retain a compatible original oil pressure switch.
The upper M10 × 1 port is intended for oil temperature measurement within the flowing oil path.
Integrated into the Oil Circuit.
Dedicated in-flow oil temperature sensor position.
Two positions for pressure monitoring or compatible OE switch retention.
ISO 6149 High-Pressure Fluid Connection.
The two primary connections use M22 × 1.5 ISO 6149 port geometry, providing an O-ring sealing interface for compatible fittings.
Unlike a connection relying on the thread itself for sealing, the primary seal is formed at the machined O-ring interface.
ISO 6149 — HIGH-PRESSURE CONNECTION
ISO 6149 connection configurations can be specified for working pressures up to 63 MPa (630 bar), subject to the applicable size, materials, design and operating conditions. This is not a pressure rating for the complete installed oil system.
Built Around AN-10.
Matching MODESTY M22 × 1.5 ISO 6149 to AN-10 / JIC-10 fittings are available for the primary oil connections.
These fittings use the plate’s O-ring sealing interface, providing a purpose-designed transition into AN-10 oil lines.
Together, the plate and matching fittings provide a clean, direct connection into a compatible remote oil circuit.
Built for Motorsport & Performance.
A competition oil system needs to work around the vehicle as well as the engine.
Relocating the filter provides greater flexibility where chassis, exhaust or other components restrict access around the original filter location.
Competition Vehicles
Greater flexibility when packaging a remote oil system around a competition car.
Engine Conversions
Useful where the factory filter location no longer suits the installation.
Performance Applications
Flexible packaging for custom oil filtration and cooling systems.
