1. Survey the engine compartment
for possible mounting locations. The mount should be located as
close to the existing full-flow filter as possible. Solid structures
such as firewall, fender well, radiator support or frame are common
locations. Refer to diagram
A for minimum area requirements and consider accessibility
for servicing.
2. The filter mount can be rotated 180° in its mounting brackets.
This allows the oil supply and return hoses to enter the mount on either
the right or left hand side. Choose the side that will minimize the
need for bends in the hoses or hose fittings. Also, refer to digram
B for preferred mounting angle positions.
3. When the location has been determined, use the mounting template
provided to locate and mark mounting holes. This can be easily done
with a center punch and hammer.
4. With a 1/4" drill bit, drill out the previously marked mounting
holes and attach the two piece mount bracket. Use the 4 - 1" long
1/4" bolts, nuts, small washer and fender washers provided. Note
the assembly diagram
D for details. Using two 7/16" wrenches or socket, tighten
to 8 foot pounds.
5. Apply thread sealant onto the two "0" ring adapter fittings
as noted in diagram
E. Install fittings in mount end adjacent to the arrows. Using
a 7/8" wrench tighten to 40-43 foot pounds. If desired,
optional 90° angle fitting or 45° angle fittings may be installed
at this time. Do not use thread sealant on either
end of the angle fittings, tighten to 525-575 inch pounds or from finger
tight rotate an additional 60° or 1/6 of a turn. Keep in mind the
direction you wish to have the hoses intersect the mount.
6. Apply thread sealant as noted in diagram
E to the Allen head "0" ring plug. Using a 5/16" Allen
head wrench, install plug in remaining mount port and tighten to
40-43 foot pounds.
7. Attach the filter mount to the mounting brackets using 4-1-1/2" long
1/4" bolts, nuts and washers provided. Warning: The
bolts must be installed so that the nuts are on the
side opposite the filter nipples. Failure to do this will result in
the bolts hitting the oil filters. Using two 7/16" wrenches or
socket, tighten to 8 foot pounds.
C. Oil Supply
1. Using a 13/16" wrench, install two adapter fittings into the
Spin-On filter adapter using thread sealant as noted in diagram
E. Tighten to 28 foot pounds or 2-3 turns beyond finger tight.
2. Using an oil drain pan to control any loss of oil, remove the existing
engine full-flow oil filter. Clean the gasket seating area on the engine
with a clean lint free cloth.
3. With the engine filter nipple now exposed, match it with one of
the four color-coded adapter bushings. The correct bushing will thread
on the nipple easily and with little free play. If you were previously
using an AMSOIL Full- Flow Oil Filter or know the nipple thread size,
use diagram
F (below) to determine the proper Adapter bushing color.
4. Apply thread sealant to the outside thread of the selected bushing
as noted in diagram
E.
5. With the knurled end of the bushing pointing out, thread into the
spin-on filter adapter.
6. Two "0" ring sizes and an adapter plate are provided
to accommodate a variety of filter gasket seating areas. Compare the "0" rings
with the gasket on the filter you just removed. Use the "0" ring
that is the closest match. If the larger "0" ring is to be
used, so must the adapter plate and small "0" ring.
7. To ensure proper sealing and aid in installation, place a small
amount of grease on both sides of the "0" ring(s) used. Install
the spin-on filter adapter and adapter plate, if required, in place
of the old oil filter. Tighten the adapter one full turn after adapter
first contacts sealing surface, back off 1/8".
D. Oil feed and return lines
Note: The hose and hose fittings supplied with
this kit have been matched to provide maximum performance and life
expectancy. Interchanging with other types or brands is not
recommended.
1. (Oil supply hose) Measure the amount of hose you will need to run
from the Red colored port (labeled Out)
on the spin-on adapter to the port with the arrow pointing In,
on the filter mount. Additional length will be required to accommodate
engine movement during operation. Also consider how the hose will be
routed. Make sure the hose does not contact any hot or moving surfaces
or sharp edges. Ensure a minimum bend radius of 1-1/2" is maintained
at all corners. Bends in hose should not begin at hose fittings. See
diagram E for additional details.
2. Using a utility knife, squarely cut the hose to the proper length.
3. I nstall hose fittings on both ends of the hose. Follow the instructions
noted in diagram G. Tools required are one 7/8" wrench and one
15/16" wrench or vise. Note: Do not use any form
of thread sealant anywhere on the hose fittings.
4. Route the hose assembly as noted in instruction D.1 and connect
the hose fittings. Note: Optional 90° or 45° angle
fittings may be installed at this time between the hose fittings and
spin-on-adapter.
5. Using two 7/8" wrenches, tighten hose fitting swivel nuts
and swivel nuts on angle fittings (if used) to 525-575 inch pounds
or from finger tight, rotate an additional 60° or 1/6 of a turn. Note: Do
not use any form of thread sealant anywhere on the hose or angle fittings.
6. (Oil return hose) Repeat steps D.1 through D.5. Connect hose at
port labeled In (without red paint) on the spin-on
adapter to the port with the arrow pointing Out, on
the filter mount.
7. Use plastic ties to secure hose in position and away from damage.
Trim ties using a side cutter. Note: Over tightening
the plastic ties may cause the hose to collapse and restrict oil flow.
8. Fill the selected Full-Flow and By-Pass Filters with the same motor
oil being used in the vehicle. Lubricate the filter gaskets with oil
and spin filters onto mount. Tighten one full turn after filter gasket
first contacts mount, back off 1/8".
E. Start up procedures
1. Check that all fittings and hoses are securely attached, and that
the hoses are routed properly.
2. Check engine oil level. Fill to full mark if necessary.
3. Set vehicle parking brake, With transmission in park/neutral start
the engine and immediately check oil pressure. Note: Pressure
may initially take a moment or two to rise.
Caution: Carefully check for leaks at fittings,
hoses and mount. If leaks are observed, STOP ENGINE IMMEDIATELY,
repair leaks and continue.
4. After engine has warmed, shut off and re-check engine oil level.
Fill as necessary.
5. Record vehicle mileage/operating hours and date of installation.
F. Periodic maintenance
1. Periodic visual inspection of the fittings and hoses is recommended.
Check for leaks, hose dete- rioration and cuts. Repair and/or replace
as necessary.
2. Refer to Recommended Filter Change Interval chart for servicing
intervals.
3. To change the filter elements:
