GENERAL INFORMATION
Before you begin the installation of this remote oil filter
system kit, please take a few minutes to read the
installation instructions thoroughly.
Work Safely
Perform this installation on a good clean level surface
for maximum safety and protection.
Installation of remote oil filter system requires working
underneath vehicle. Raise front of vehicle by lifting at
points specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Place
blocks or wedges in front of and behind both rear
wheels to prevent movement in either direction.
Support the vehicle with approved automotive support
stands or wheel ramps. Do not use a bumper jack for
supporting vehicle.
IMPORTANT!
To avoid any possibility of bodily injury, do not get
underneath vehicle until you ar confident that it is
safely supported and will not move or fall from its
raised position. Make sure engine is cool to the
touch and oil has cooled sufficiently before
beginning installation.
Tools Required
7/8" Open End Wrench Hammer
3/8" Drill Bit Ratchet
*3/8" Hex Key Wrench Center-Punch
1/2" Open End Wrench Utility Knife
1/2" Socket Electric Hand Drill
Teflon®Thread Seal Tape
(*) Required for Remote Dual Oil Filter System Kits.
Oil Filter By-Pass and Remote
Filter Bracket Mounting
1. Place drain pan underneath oil filter and remove
filter from engine block.
Note: A complete oil change is not necessary for
this installation but is recommended if oil has not
been changed within 2,000 miles.
2. Check by-pass adapter and remote filter mounting
bracket to be sure they are clean and free of any
metal chips or burrs.
3. Insert o-ring into the groove located in oil filter
by-pass adapter. Lubricate top of o-ring using a
light film of oil. Spin by-pass adapter onto engine
block until snug, then tighten an additional 3/4
to 1 full turn same as the stock oil filter (Refer
to illustration).
4. Select the best location for remote oil filter
mounting bracket. The firewall, fenderwell, or frame
rail are convenient locations. Be sure oil filter has
sufficient ground clearance and mark location for
remote bracket with a grease pen or scribe.
Note: Remote oil filter bracket can be mounted
vertically or horizontally whichever is most
convenient for your application.
5. Before starting, measure distance between bypass adapter on engine block and remote oil filter
bracket. One length (60") of high temperature hose
is supplied to complete the connections. This hose
must be cut in two (2) individual lengths. Before
cutting, make sure remote oil filter mounting
bracket is located close enough to the by-pass
adapter.
For installations that require more hose length,
Mr. Gasket has available a 96" length of hose
part no. 7697, this will allow using two (2) lengths
of hose up to 48" each for these applications.
6. Use the remote oil filter mounting bracket as a
template and mark mounting holes with a grease
pen or scribe. Center-punch hole locations and
make sure underside is free and clear from any
obstructions. Drill three (3) 3/8" holes through
surface and debur holes.
7. Place remote oil filter bracket onto mounting
location and attach using 5/16" hex head bolts,
flat washers, and lock-nuts supplied. Tighten all
nuts and bolts securely.
Note: The dual remote oil filter mounting bracket
requires installing hex head bolts through bracket
from the back side.

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.
