remote oil filter-drain back

[land lexus]

Hi all I have a land rover 90 with 1uzfe in it and the auto box. Due to the design of the vehicle there is nowhere to relocate remote oil filter other than back of wheel arch in engine bay near the heater box.

I don't drive it that regularly and I think I have drain back issues as it takes a few seconds for oil light to go out a week between driving.

Ideally I would put remote filter lower and closer to existing oil filter housing-but there's simply no room.

Any ideas please

Does the filter you are using have a anti drain back valve in it?
