This is killing me! For the life of me, I can't get far enough into the engine room to reach the oil filters. Any tips? I have both access covers removed and I've gotten in there the best I can but just can't reach!

Twin Volvo 5.0 engines...

Your engine has the remote "mount" or option, no? Is it at the top or bottom of your engine. if so, I would install the remote unit.

They look something like this: http://www.michiganmotorz.com/remote-filter-p-297.html

Steve the kit should fit on your motors. I have it on my '04 VP 5.7
