SPIN-ON FILTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

An increasing number of motorists today are performing oil and filter changes on their cars.
However, present installation instructions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and may be
confusing to the installer.

These instructions may be used in changing any spin-on oil filter.

1. Clean base.
Unscrew and remove old filter. Be sure
old gasket is removed with filter. Wipe
filter mounting base with clean cloth.

2. Apply clean oil to gasket.
Apply thin film of clean motor oil to new
filter gasket. Do not use grease.

3. Spin-on to gasket contact.
Line up threads carefully to avoid cross-
threading. Spin new filter on until gasket
contacts base.

4. Tighten additional turns.
Tighten filter the required number of turns
beyond gasket contact. Important - Follow
instructions of filter manufacturer (usually
found on filter) for final tightening. This
example shows to tighten filter 1 turn past
gasket contact. This may be different for
other filters.

5. No leaks.
Be sure oil shows full on dipstick. Start
engine and check for leaks. Correct
source of any leaks observed. Shut off
engine. Re-check oil level. Add oil if
necessary.

6. Inspect for dents.
Important – Do not use filter if it is
dented.
