PRE-INSTALLATION
SELECTING COMPONENTS
1. Remove the factory oil filter and clean the oil filter landing surface on the engine block.

3.
To easily select the correct components for your application, follow the
steps below. Then proceed to the INSTALLATION sections.
1. Using a rag, clean the oil filter landing on the engine.
2. Take the supplied Spin-on Adapter and Adapter Plate.
3. To determine if your application uses the supplied Adapter Plate,
first hold the Adapter Plate up to the oil filter landing on the engine
block. The casting needs to seat directly onto the landing without
obstruction. If the Adapter Plate is too large, then disregard the
Adapter Plate and O-ring. (See Diagram #2)
4. Take the supplied Spin-On Adapter and hold it up the oil filter
landing on the engine block. The casting needs to seat directly
onto the landing without obstruction.
1. Take the 5 supplied Cast Nuts, try and screw each Cast Nut
onto the filter nipple on the engine block until the correct size will
completely thread onto the nipple. Once you have located the
correct Cast Nut, disregard the remaining 4 Cast Nuts.
2. Take the Cast Nut and slide it into the Spin-on Adapters hex
feature. Cast Nut will only install correctly in one direction.
(See Diagram #1)
3. Take the supplied Snap Ring and carefully install into the snap
ring groove of the casting making sure it is securely fastened.
(See Diagram #1)
It is recommended that you were the proper eye protection
