INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. BE SURE THE ENGINE IS COOL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
2. Wrap NPT hose adaptor fittings (not incl.) with Teflon tape, or coat with automotive thread sealer, and screw them
into the sandwich adapter.
3. Remove oil filter and clean the oil filter landing on the engine block.
4. Apply a light coat of oil to rubber o-ring and fit to groove in sandwich adapter. Fasten sandwich adapter to the
engine block using the appropriate mounting nut, with o-ring facing engine block. Point fittings toward hose
route, then tighten mounting nut. Do not over tighten.
5. Run hoses from sandwich adapter to cooler. Mount and/or wire cooler according to product instructions.
When running the oil hose avoid kinks and sharp or moving
objects. Allow a little extra when calculating hose lengths.
Route hoses away from exhaust pipes, etc. Attach hoses to
fittings, but do not tighten yet. If using threaded fittings,
use Teflon tape or thread sealer on threads. Secure hoses to
prevent damage from moving or hot objects. Once hoses
are in their final position, tighten hose fittings. Use a back-
up wrench on the cooler fittings to prevent damage to the
thin walls of the oil cooler tubes. Do not over tighten.
6. Replace oil filter. Start engine and check oil pressure. If
oil pressure does not reach normal within 5-10 seconds,
shut off engine; oil is not flowing. Review instructions and
correct the installation. If pressure is OK, let engine run until
it reaches normal operating temp. Check that both ends of
cooler are warm. If not, oil is not flowing through cooler.
Shut off engine and correct installation.
7. Inspect for leaks and fix any leaks found. Top off oil, if necessary. Periodically inspect all fittings during the first 100
miles of driving.
