Which line goes from the filter to the pan, the side outlet or the bottom outlet? I have heard and seen it both ways. I currently have the bottom outlet draining to the pan and the side outlet to the oil pressure fitting. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 | Funny that you mention it. I thought it was backwards from what others have described with so in Hutchinson KS at the ATHS show this weekend, I paid close attention to new filter kits. They were labeled Inlet on the side and outlet on the bottom which is what I thought was correct. The inlet will go go to oil pressure sending unit area and the outlet will be a gravity drain that goes just above the oil pan rail and drins into the pan. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
