SELECTING COMPONENTS
The components supplied in this kit are for multiple applications. Some
components will not be used for your specific application. To easily select
the correct components for your application, follow the steps below. Then
proceed to the SANDWICH ADAPTER INSTALLATION section.
1. Remove the factory oil filter from the vehicle.
2. Using a rag, clean the oil filter landing on the engine.
3. Take the supplied Sandwich Adapter and Adapter Plate.
4. 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 #3)
5. Take the supplied Sandwich Adapter and hold it up the oil filter landing
on the engine block. The casting needs to seat directly onto the landing
without obstruction. (See Diagram #2)
(See Diagram #1)
1. The Red Sleeve Nut is ONLY used when the Adapter Plate is being
used. If you have previously determined that your application will use the
Adapter Plate then disregard the 5 remaining Sleeve Nuts. If you are not
using the Adapter Plate, please disregard the Red Sleeve Nut.
2. Using the remaining 5 supplied Sleeve Nuts, try and screw each Sleeve
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
Sleeve Nut, disregard the remaining 4 Sleeve Nuts.
