To prevent the possibility of high filter restriction after installation and causing filter damage, be sure to mark the lubricating lines, oil filter head inlet and outlet ports. Failure to do so can cause the center filter media to break up and be pumped through the engine.
Label the filter head connectors to identify the lubricating oil connections and fitting orientation.
Remove the fittings from the lubricating oil filter head.
Replace the compression o-ring seals and o-rings on all face sealing connections.
Lubricate o-ring with clean engine oil.
Install the inlet and outlet connections into the filter heads. Be sure the lubricating oil connections are orientated correctly and they are installed to their proper depth.
Do not torque or tighten the fitting locknuts at this time.
