My application has the three coil packs mounted above the top engine mount tube and the second alternator on the pad. Moving the filter to the firewall will allow easy access to it and eliminate the mess. Well worth the ? complexity and a lot of unwanted weight?...

Yeah,,,if that's what you
have to do to access the filter, then by all means do it. But yes,,,its adds unnecessary weight and complexity. I cringe every time I look at that thing whenever I am working on the plane with the cowl off. And as far as oil pressure on start up,,,,a properly maintained and used engine has no problems making TBO. I had 2700 hours on my O-235 before overhaul,,,and that was without a remote mount oil filter. Jeez,,,,,,
