PROCEDURE FOR FILTER RELOCATION KITSDUAL
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.
Spin the new oil bypass adapter on to the block where older filter was installed.
o-ring
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.
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 aside dual remote filter base.
Drill marked holes using a 5/16" drill bit.
Mount remote filter base into position using the supplied 5/16" hex head bolts and keps nuts.
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 either hole
(marked "OUT") on the remote filter base. Insert a pipe plug in to the other hole marked “OUT”.
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 nipples, included with this kit, into the bottom of the remote base.
Lube filter gaskets and spin on the new oil filters. Tighten filters as you would any standard oil filter.
Following your vehicle or engine manufacturer’s specifications, fill your engine oil. Add one additional quart of oil for dual
filter systems.
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 and second filter.
Add enough oil to bring, the level to the full line on dipstick. Do not overfill.
YOUR INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE. NORMAL ENGINE CARE IS ALL THAT IS
REQUIRED, AND FUTURE OIL FILTER CHANGES WILL BE MUCH EASIER.

Allow engine to cool.
Tighten bypass adapter to the same tightness as the original filter. Be sure bypass adapter makes contact with sealing
surface.
Select best location for remote filter base (fenderwell, firewall, frame, etc.). Check that the supplied hoses are long enough
to reach the new location.
CAUTION: Check to make sure the o-ring (provided with kit) is properly
seated in the groove located on the bypass adapter.
CAUTION: Make sure the hoses do not crimp, kink or rest against hot or sharp surfaces.
Oil flow restriction or hose damage will occur.

CAUTION: There is a short thread and a long thread on these nipples. Screw the threaded ends into the
remote base. The long threads will hold the oil filters. Trans-Dapt Performance remote oil
filter bases require 3/4"-16 filters such as Fram PH8A, HPF1 or Trans-Dapt’s 1156 compact oil filter.
