(More customer reviews)I purchased a Transdapt 1127 oil filter relocation kit from Amazon in June. I was tired of oil leaking all over the place every time I changed the oil filter on my 06 Ford F150 so I thought I would give this a try. The hoses look like garden hose and do not have any visible clamps. It looks like the hoses must have been heated and press fit on the fittings but they are labeled 300psi and since TransDapt has been around for a long time I thought surly they would be ok. I took one trip at just over 1000 miles and watched carefully for any leaks but none showed up so I thought it must be ok. I took another trip and when I got where I was going (325 miles) we noticed oil leaking from under the truck. The leak appeared to be from a hose at the part that connects to the engine. I went to Walmart and bought a filter, wrench, drain pan and 2 qts of oil and proceeded to remove this kit. When I asked for a refund Amazon first replied that they would not give a refund because it was past 30 days. (The product has a 12 month warranty - go figure) Transdapt said to take it back to the retailer for a refund so I contacted Amazon again and they offered a one-time refund due to the situation. I did get my refund but it was minus shipping (the original shipping was free) and some other fee so basically my refund was $12 less than what I paid and I'm out the time and the trip to Walmart which was about another $20. I would not recommend this product until they come out with a better hose. I consider myself lucky in that if this had started leaking on the interstate running 75 I would probably be looking at a tow truck trip home and engine replacement. And guess what?? The warranty does not cover any cost past product replacement. Not good!
