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

landing on the engine block. The casting needs to seat directly
onto the landing without obstruction.

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.

feature. Sleeve Nut will only install correctly in one direction.

groove of the casting making sure it is securely fastened.
