PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE FILTER RELOCATION KITS
To ensure a safe and durable installation, please read and follow this instruction sheet carefully.
Drain oil, then remove and properly discard used oil and filter.
Once proper hose distance is ensured, mount remote filter base. Filter base may be mounted either vertically or
horizontally.
Using remote filter base as a template, mark mounting holes (3) with pencil, punch, etc. Set remote filter base aside.
Drill marked holes using a 5/16" drill bit.
Mount remote filter base into position using the supplied #14 x 3/4" sheet metal screws. Unit may also be mounted
using properly sized bolts, washers and nuts (not included).
Install hoses.
Using either hose, begin by wrapping a small portion of teflon tape around standard male fitting on the hose (No more
than 3 layers thick). Screw into the outermost hole in the oil bypass adapter. Since the male fitting is press fit
into the neoprene hose, the hose and fitting are screwed into the oil bypass adapter together.
Run this hose to the remote filter base. Wrap teflon tape on the male swivel fitting (No more than 3 layers thick) going
into the remote filter base, and screw into outermost hole marked "IN".
Repeat procedure with second hose going from center most hole in the oil bypass adapter to the center most hole
(marked "OUT") on the remote filter base.
Tighten all brass fittings with wrench. Tighten fittings on bypass adapter first, then tighten the fittings on remote
filter base.
Install new oil filter.
Screw the threaded nipple included with this kit, into the bottom of the remote base.
Lube filter gasket and spin on the new oil filter. Tighten filter as you would any standard oil filter.
Following your vehicle or engine manufacturer’s specifications, fill your engine oil.
Check your installation:
Start your engine.
Immediately check oil pressure gauge or red oil pressure warning light on dash.
If this condition exists, the hoses are hooked up incorrectly.
Reverse both hose connections at the remote filter base only.
Repeat steps 13A and 13B. Oil pressure should now register properly and/or no oil warning light should be on.
Run engine for approximately 3 minutes. While running, check all connections for oil leaks. Never lay under the vehicle
while the engine is running or while engine is still hot, to check for oil leaks.
Stop engine. Check oil level on dipstick. The reading should be slightly low, as oil is now in the new hoses. Add enough oil
to bring, the level to the full line on dipstick. Do not overfill.

CAUTION: Check to make sure the o-ring (provided with kit) is properly
seated in the groove located on the bypass adapter.

5.
Allow engine to cool.
Spin the new oil bypass adapter on to the block where older filter was installed.
Tighten bypass adapter to the same tightness as the original filter. Be sure bypass adapter o-ring makes contact with sealing
surface. If there is a gap between the block and the o-ring, the factory oil filter nipple will need to be trimmed. Remove the
nipple, and trim as needed. Reinstall nipple and bypass adapter.
Select best location for remote filter base (fenderwell, firewall, frame, etc.). Check that the supplied hoses are long enough
to reach the new location. If too short, see bottom of the reverse side of this instruction sheet.
CAUTION: Make sure the hoses do not crimp, kink or rest against hot or sharp surfaces.
Oil flow restriction or hose damage will occur.
