Mr. Gasket All Remote Oil Filter System: Single or Dual - Manual (Page 2)

Oil Hose Assembly and Fitting Installation
IMPORTANT!
Keep hose as short as possible when routing. Hose
must not kink, crimp, contact hot exhaust or sharp
surfaces, otherwise damage to hose or engine will
result. A minimum 3-1/2" radius bend is suggested
when routing, or oil flow restriction will occur. Most
installations can be completed using two (2) 30" hose
lengths. Measure length needed and cut carefully
using a utility knife. Hose must be cut straight and
evenly.
1. After hose is cut to the correct length, install brass
fittings (push-loc type) into hose. Lubricate each
fitting and inner liner of hose with soapy water or
light oil. Insert fittings (male on one end and female
flare on opposite end) into each hose until first
barb is completely covered. Place end of fitting
against a flat surface (bench or wall), grasp hose
approximately one inch from end and push
straight forward turning side to side until end of
hose is covered by yellow cap on fitting. No
external clamps are required with push-loc type
brass fittings.
2. Using Teflon ® thread sealing tape, wrap the 1/2"
NPT end of male flare fittings and screw into
remote oil filter mounting bracket. Carefully tighten
both fittings securely using a 7/8" open end
wrench or deep well socket and torque wrench,
do not exceed 20 ft. lbs.
CAUTION! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
ALUMINUM CASTING MAY CRACK OR BREAK.
3. Wrap Teflon ® thread sealing tape around external
threads of male fittings inserted into hoses. Screw
into threaded holes of the by-pass adapter marked
“in” and “out”. Using a 7/8" open end wrench
carefully tighten brass fittings securely.
IMPORTANT!
Hoses connected to by-pass adapter ports marked
“in” and “out” must correspond to the same “in” and
“out” ports on the remote oil filter mounting bracket
for proper oil circulation. Check hoses to be sure they
are connected correctly. (Refer to illustration).
Note: The dual remote oil filter mounting bracket
requires installing two (2) 1/2" hex socket pipe plugs
(supplied) into threaded holes on remote bracket
opposite hoses, use Teflon
® sealing tape on threads.
Using a 3/8" hex key wrench tighten pipe plugs
securely.
Oil Filter Installation
1. Screw end of nipple(s) (short end with less threads)
into remote oil filter mounting bracket and tighten
securely. Mr. Gasket single and dual remote oil
filter mounting brackets require using oil filters
with 3/4"-16 threads and 2-1/2" I.D. x 2-3/4" O.D.
o-ring seal dimensions. Oil filter recommendation
are listed below:
2. Lubricate o-ring on oil filter using a light film of oil.
Spin oil filter(s) onto remote mounting bracket until
snug, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn.
Caution - do not overtighten.
Note: If remote oil filter mounting bracket is
mounted so that filter(s) are in a vertical position,
fill oil filter(s) with proper engine oil required and
install onto remote bracket. This will produce oil
pressure quickly.
3. If a complete oil change was necessary, add new
oil to engine. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s
service manual for type of oil, quantity, and oil
pressure specifications.
4. Start engine and check oil pressure warning light
or oil pressure gauge if equipped.
Warning! If oil pressure light stays on past five
seconds or gauge indicates low oil pressure,
turn engine “off” immediately.
Check hoses, make sure they are connected to the
correct “inlet” and “outlet” ports on by-pass
adapter and remote oil filter mounting bracket.
Check for excessive bends in hose smaller than
the minimum 3-1/2" radius bend allowed.
Note: If vehicle is not equipped with a mechanical
or electrical oil pressure gauge, it is recommended
that one be installed to monitor engine oil
pressure.
5. Start engine and let idle for five minutes, check all
connections for oil leakage while engine is running.
Turn engine “off” and check oil level on dipstick.
Oil level may indicate “low” because of oil required
to fill new hoses. Add additional oil to “full” line on
dipstick.
Note: If remote oil filter bracket is mounted higher
than oil pan, oil level may indicate above “full” line
on dipstick. This is due to oil draining back into the
oil pan from hoses.
