SANDWICH ADAPTER INSTALLATION
The Sandwich Adapter fits between the oil filter and the engine block. Before
removing the oil filter, check the clearance between the bottom of the filter and
the closest vehicle obstruction. If there are none, then proceed with the
installation. Otherwise, the Sandwich Adapter is 1-3/4” Thick, so you will need 2”
more clearance then stock. If you determine that the stock filter will not fit, refer
to the Filter Chart for alternative filter heights.
1.
Remove the factory oil filter from the vehicle.
2. Take the 5 Sleeve Nuts provided, each Sleeve Nut has a Color coded label
(See Diagram #1). For your reference, the filter chart above will tell you the
thread size colors. The colors are only needed if: 1. You know the specific
thread size of your vehicle or 2. You need to use the filter chart to determine
an alternate filter to use. Using the old oil filter take each Sleeve Nut and
determine which Sleeve Nut matches the oil filter by screwing the Sleeve Nut
into the oil filter. Once you have determined the correct size, disregard the 4
other sizes.
3. Remove the colored label from the Sleeve Nut.

4. Take the Sandwich Adapter and the two Hose Barb Fittings provided. Using Teflon Tape or a suitable sealant, screw the
Hose Barb Fittings clockwise into the Sandwich Adapter until snug. (See Diagram #2)
5. Using a wrench tighten the two Hose Barb Fittings.
6. Take the O-ring provided, apply a thin film of oil and install into the O-ring groove on the Sandwich Adapter. (See Diagram #2)
7. Making sure the engine block filter landing is clean from oil and dirt, take the Sleeve Nut, Sandwich Adapter, O-ring, and
install onto engine sliding the Sleeve Nut thru the Sandwich Adapter. Turn sleeve nut clockwise onto the engines filter nipple.
8. Using a torque wrench, torque the Sleeve Nut to 20 ft. lbs.
1. Install both ends of the hose onto the Hose Barb Fittings, forming a loop.
2. Take the looped end and route the hose to the oil cooler making sure to stay clear of sharp objects, exhaust systems, etc.
All bends in hose need to have a minimum radius of 5” or the diameter of a small coffee can.
3. Cut and attach hoses to the oil cooler. Secure hoses using zip ties.
1. Before starting the vehicle, check engine oil level and add accordingly.
2. Always check fluid levels on a flat surface.
3. After installation and vehicle has completely warmed up, recheck fluid level and inspect all connections for leaks.
