Amsoil Full Flow & Bypass install.

The first thing to do was, find a mounting location as close as possible to the OEM filter. I found the perfect spot (it

To mount the bracket at the right height I fabricated a plate. In this pic you will see that I pre-drilled it to attach the bracket that comes with the bypass system. This plate is 3" X 7.5" X 3/16" with 1/4" holes drilled.

After removing the front skid plate and OEM oil filter, I drained the oil. This pic shows the OEM Filter mount/ oil cooler without the filter.

This pic shows the adapter nipple that needs to be attached over the threaded hollow center post that the oil filter screws onto. Make sure you follow the instructions concerning the use of thread sealer and the amount of torque for all the nipples and adapters. The reason for this nipple is so you can screw on the adapter that replaces the OEM filter (it has a different tread size).

This is a pic (little blurry) of the adapter nipple attached.

This is a pic of the adapter screwed onto the OEM filter cooler, so that the hoses can be attached. The hoses that go to the remote filter block attached to the frame rails.

I cut the supplied hose in half (8 feet, 2-4 footers) then attached one supplied hose end on each hose and attached the hoses to the adapter.

Koz, do you see those two plugs that are next to (not part of I don't think) the oil cooler/filter housing... what are they for?

 

[Koz]

This pic shows the routing of the hoses to the filter block. I left the other hose ends off so that after routing them to the filter block, I would mark and cut hoses to the exact length.

This pic shows the routing from the last pic. going through the rubber curtain near the back of the headlight, to the filter block.

This pic shows the hoses attached/routed to the filter block.

This pic shows the hoses secured and wire tied so they don't rub anywhere.

Again, the hoses secured.

Nice write-up Koz!

Looks good.

There are Two filters, one is a full flow filter (works like the OEM filter but better filter material and more capacity, changed every 12.5K miles) and one by-pass filter (filters out contaminants and water, changed every 25K miles).
