The remote oil filter adapter on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the mounting bolts are steel. Any kid that passes science class can tell you that these two metals together will cause a bi-metallic reaction that will severely and quickly corrode the aluminum, which it has. This corrosion has caused the mounting holes on the adapter to flake off and now only a small portion of the mounting bolt/nut is holding the assembly. Eventually, the mount will completely fail and the adapter may fall into some moving engine part or onto the road. This could sever the oil filter hoses and possibly spray oil on the hot engine which is a fire risk. This oil filter adapter should be made out of materials that are compatible and will not corrode from bi-metallic reaction.
