Premium Oil Filter Relocation Kits Commitment to Excellence!
Who is APPLIEDSPEED
Welcome to APPLIEDSPEED.com, your trusted destination for Premium Oil Filter Relocation Kits. Our company is not a typical faceless big-box parts warehouse focused simply on selling products. Instead, we are a small, dedicated team fueled by decades of hands-on racing experience. We are genuinely committed to delivering quality in everything we do, and we prioritize exceptional customer support for every client. Our passion for motorsports and our expertise ensure that you receive not only top-tier parts but also personalized service and care.
With APPLIEDSPEED, your oil filter relocation kits are skillfully packaged to make installation easier and to prevent damage during shipping and handling. Note the O-ringed swivel FullFlow 90-degree fittings, ARP fasteners, installation lube, and -10 adapters for near-zero pressure drop.
Our Story
APPLIEDSPEED was founded by Jean Genibrel — a hands-on racer, seasoned builder, and one of the most widely published authors in motorsport. Jean's journey began at All American Racers during the Bobby Unser era, and he's been deeply involved in the world of racing ever since. That experience across multiple racing disciplines is what drives everything we make.
Jean also worked at Tillack & Co., one of the most respected classic car restoration shops in the business. There, he developed a sharp eye for parts that don't just work well — they must enhance the build itself. That attention to detail carries over into every APPLIEDSPEED product.
What Makes Us Different
Many companies sell you parts. We sell you solutions.
Every APPLIEDSPEED kit comes with everything you need for a complete, leak-free installation — no extra trips to the parts store, no compatibility headaches, no missing pieces. That's a deliberate choice. Jean has seen too many builders waste time and money piecing together parts from multiple sources that don't integrate well. Our kits take that frustration off the table.
Built with the Best
We partner with ARP Racing to include their premium stainless-steel fasteners in every kit. We use HighFlow© O-ringed swivel fittings and large 5/8" (-10) hoses to maximize oil flow. And every product is designed and tested to hold up under real-world, extreme conditions — because that's the environment we come from.
A Trusted Voice in Motorsport
Jean's expertise isn't just on the shop floor. His "Building the Mini Stock" series in Circle Track Magazine became a trusted guide for racers and builders nationwide and was later published as a book by the number one publisher of race technology, Steve Smith Autosports. He also documented his own construction and racing of an SCCA GT3 Ford Probe in Sports Car Magazine.
His karting books have sold over 100,000 copies worldwide, earning him recognition as the most widely read author in the sport. He's received multiple awards from the American Auto Writers and Broadcasters Association — a reflection of the same standards he brings to every APPLIEDSPEED product.
My Promise — Jean Genibrel
I believe that quality is earned, not claimed. Every kit that leaves my shop reflects years of hard-won experience and a genuine desire to help you build something you're proud of.
