Selecting the Sleeve Nut
Warning:
To easily select the correct components for your application, follow
the steps below. Then proceed to the 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 Spin-on 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 #2)
5. 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.
It is recommended that you were the proper eye protection
when installing Snap Ring.

2. Take the O-ring and install into the groove on the Spin-On
Adapter and Adapter Plate (if used).
3. Install onto the engine. (See Diagram #2)
4. Hand Tighten with the same force used in tightening a factory oil
filter.
SPIN-ON ADAPTER INSTALLATION
1. Using the remaining 5 supplied Hex Sleeve Nuts, try and screw
each Hex 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 Hex Sleeve Nut, disregard the
remaining 4 Hex Sleeve Nuts.
2. Take the Hex Sleeve Nut and slide it into the Spin-on Adapters
hex feature. The Hex Sleeve Nut will only install correctly in one
direction. (See Diagram #1)
