Baxter Performance RI-101-BK – a flexible inverted remote oil filter mount
The Baxter Performance RI-101-BK is an inverted spin-on filter mount designed for custom remote oil-filter systems. It allows the filter to be repositioned where servicing is more practical, while the integrated retaining well helps collect excess oil released during filter removal.
Key benefits
- 3/4-16 spin-on filter thread: compatible with filters using this mounting thread, subject to the engine's complete filter requirements.
- Included -10 AN fittings: provide a practical connection point for a correctly engineered remote oil circuit.
- Three hose-routing directions: the oil connections can face left, right or downward.
- 90° bracket indexing: the bracket can be attached to either side of the body and rotated in 90-degree increments.
- Oil-system materials: the body is machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and the seals are specified as Viton.
How does the retaining well help?
With an inverted filter arrangement, residual oil can escape as the filter is unscrewed. The well surrounding the filter stud helps keep that oil at the mount instead of allowing it to run directly into the engine bay or work area. It supports cleaner servicing, although normal oil-change precautions are still required.
Fitment and intended applications
Baxter Performance lists cars, trucks, boats and industrial engines as potential application groups. The manufacturer does not, however, publish a vehicle-specific fitment list for RI-101-BK. It should therefore be treated as a component for a custom-designed system rather than a confirmed direct-fit kit.
- Custom oil-filter relocation systems in 4x4 vehicles and pickup trucks.
- Utility and project vehicles with restricted access to the original filter location.
- Cars and trucks fitted with a suitable engine-side take-off adapter.
- Selected marine and industrial installations after system requirements have been verified.
Before ordering, confirm the engine-side adapter, the engine's filter specification, available installation space and the complete hose route.
Installation and hose selection
The RI-101-BK instructions specify a mounting position at mid-engine level or above. Bracket orientation, connection direction and hose routing should be established before drilling the mounting holes.
A hose with a minimum 5/8-inch internal diameter, approximately 15.9 mm, and a rating suitable for oil and fuel is recommended. The final hose construction, pressure rating, end fittings and heat protection must be selected for the engine and installation environment.
Construction
The body is machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, and Baxter Performance specifies Viton for all seals. The indexable bracket provides installation flexibility. No confirmed pressure limit, operating-temperature range or corrosion-resistance specification is stated in the available product documentation, so these values are not claimed here.

The documentation does not state the exact number of individual fittings or plugs. It also does not confirm that the oil filter, oil hoses or engine-side adapter are supplied, so these parts should be selected separately for the application.
Frequently asked questions
Is the RI-101-BK a direct-fit part for a particular vehicle?
No official vehicle-specific fitment list is published. The engine connection, hoses and mounting location must be designed and verified for each installation.
Can any 3/4-16 filter be used?
The 3/4-16 thread provides mechanical compatibility with the mount. The selected filter must also meet the engine's requirements for flow, bypass-valve setting, anti-drainback function and sealing diameter.
Does the mount completely eliminate oil spills?
The retaining well helps contain residual oil during filter removal. Standard oil-change precautions and suitable protection of the work area are still required.
How can installation clearance be checked?
No manufacturer-confirmed dimensional drawing was found in the available documentation. Verify the physical mount, the selected filter and the service clearance required to unscrew it before drilling the mounting holes.
What additional parts may be required?
A suitable engine-side adapter, oil hose, -10 AN hose ends, an application-correct 3/4-16 filter and suitable hose supports or heat protection may be required.
