B. Attaching the filter mount

1. Survey the engine compartment for possible mounting locations. The

mount should be located as close to the existing full-flow filter as possi-
ble. Solid structures such as the firewall, fender well, radiator support or
frame are common locations. 

(Do not mount on engine.)

Refer to diagram

A for minimum area requirements and consider accessibility for servicing.

2. The filter mount can be rotated 180° in its mounting brackets. This

allows the oil supply and return hoses to enter the mount on either 
the right or left hand side. Choose the side that will minimize the need 
for bends in the hoses. Also refer to diagram C for preferred mounting
angle positions.

3. When the location has been determined, use the mounting template

provided to locate and mark mounting holes. This can be easily done with
a center punch and hammer.

4. With a 

1

4

drill bit, drill out the previously marked mounting holes and

attach the two piece mount bracket. Use the 4 - 1

long 

1

4

bolts, nuts,

small washer and fender washers provided. Note the assembly diagram
B for details. Using two 

7

16

wrenches or socket, tighten to 8 foot

pounds.

5. Apply thread sealant onto the two “O” ring adapter fittings (BP-189) as

noted in diagram E. Install fittings in mount end adjacent to the arrows.
Using a 

7

8

wrench, tighten to 40-43 foot pounds. If desired, optional 90°

angle fittings (BK-11) or 45° angle fittings (BK-12) may be installed at this
time. Sold in packages of two, they are available from AMSOIL INC. 

Do

not

use thread sealant on either end of the angle fittings, tighten to

525-575 inch pounds or from finger tight, rotate an additional 60° or 

1

6

of a turn. Keep in mind the direction you wish to have the hoses inter-
sect the mount.

6. Apply thread sealant as noted in diagram E to the Allen head “O” ring plug

(BP-191). Using a 

5

16

Allen head wrench, install plug in remaining

mount port and tighten to 40-43 foot pounds. 

Note:

If optional oil sam-

pling valve is to be used, refer to diagram B and install in place of the Allen
head “O” ring plug. Apply thread sealant to the external threads on all com-
ponents in the BK-13 kit.

7. Attach the filter mount to the mounting brackets using 4-1

1

2

long 

1

4

bolts, nuts and washers provided.

Warning:

The bolts 

must

be installed

so that the nuts are on the side opposite the filter nipples. Failure to do
this will result in the bolts hitting the oil filters. Using two 

7

16

wrenches

or socket, tighten to 8 foot pounds.

C. Oil Supply

1. Apply thread sealant, as noted in diagram E on the two fitting adapters

(BP-201). Using a 

7

8

wrench, install the two adapter fittings into the Spin-

On filter adapter (BP-176 Cummins, BP-177 International, BP-219
Duramax). Tighten to 28 foot pounds or 2-3 turns beyond finger tight.
If desired, use optional BK-11 or BK-12 angle fittings.

2. Using a drain oil pan to control any loss of oil, remove the existing

engine full-flow oil filter. Clean the gasket seating area on the engine with
a clean lint free cloth.

3. Install the spin-on filter adapter in place of the old oil filter. To ensure

proper sealing and aid in installation, place a small amount of grease on
both sides of the “O” ring used. Tighten the adapter one full turn after
adapter first contacts sealing surface, back off slightly, about

.

D. Oil feed and return lines

Note:

The hose and hose fittings supplied with this kit have been matched

to provide maximum performance and life expectancy. Interchanging with
other types or brands is 

not recommended

and 

should be avoided.

Should additional hose be required, it may be obtained from AMSOIL INC.
by ordering part number BP-250.

1. (Oil supply hose) Measure the amount of hose (BP-250) you will need

to run from the 

Red

colored port (labeled 

Out

) on the spin-on adapter to

the port with the arrow pointing 

In

, on the filter mount. Additional length

will be required to accommodate engine movement during operation. Also
consider how the hose will be routed. Make sure the hose does not con-
tact any hot or moving surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure a minimum bend
radius of 1

1

2

is maintained at all corners. Also, bends in hose should not

begin at hose fittings. See diagrams D and G for additional details.

2. Using a utility knife, squarely cut the hose to the proper length.
3. Install hose fittings (BP-260) on both ends of the hose. Follow the

instructions noted in diagram F. Tools required are one 

7

8

wrench and

one 

15

16

wrench or vise. 

Note:

Do not use any form of thread sealant

anywhere on the BP-260 hose fittings.

4. Route the hose assembly as noted in D.1 and connect the hose fittings.

Note: 

Optional 90° or 45° angle fittings may be installed at this time

between the hose fittings and spin-on-adapter (see instruction B-5).

5. Using two 

7

8

wrenches, tighten hose fitting swivel nuts and swivel

nuts on angle fittings (if used) to 525-575 inch pounds or from finger tight,
rotate an additional 60° or 

1

6

of a turn. 

Note:

Do not use any form of

thread sealant anywhere on the hose or angle fittings.

6. (Oil return hose) Repeat steps D.1 through D.5. Connect hose at port

labeled 

In

on the spin-on adapter to the port with the arrow pointing 

Out,

on the filter mount.

7. Use plastic ties (BP-46) to secure hose in position and away from

damage. Trim ties using side cutter. 

Note:

Over tightening the plastic ties

may cause the hose to collapse and restrict oil flow.

8. Fill the provided Full-Flow and By-Pass Filters with the same motor oil

being used in the vehicle. Lubricate the filter gasket with oil and spin filter
onto mount. Tighten per instructions on the filter can.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Read

all

instructions completely before attempting to install this unit.

Improper installation could result in serious system and/or equipment
damage. The installation of this system is not difficult, however, some
mechanical ability is necessary. If you are not comfortable with the
instructions or have questions, 

do not attempt the installation.

Consult

a mechanic or contact AMSOIL INC. for further instructions or assistance.

WARNING:

Extreme care should be taken to avoid bodily harm during

installation. Before starting, ensure the engine is cool to avoid burns and

never

work in the engine compartment area with the engine running.
