Installation Instructions

1. Prepare: Warm the engine to operating temperature for optimal oil flow. Place a drain pan beneath the oil filter housing.
2. Remove Old Filter: Use an oil filter wrench to loosen and unscrew the existing filter. Allow any residual oil to drain into the pan.
3. Clean Mounting Surface: Wipe the oil pan’s mounting area with a clean rag, removing old gasket material and debris.
4. Apply Gasket: Place a new elastomeric gasket onto the filter housing. Ensure it sits flush against the oil pan surface.
5. Install New Filter: Screw the MAPCO Oil Filter 64806 onto the mounting flange by hand until snug, then give an additional ¾ turn with the wrench to secure.
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Inspect the filter area for any oil seepage; tighten slightly if necessary.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter at every scheduled oil change to maintain optimal filtration performance.
• Avoid over‑tightening during installation, as this can damage the gasket or housing threads.
• If you notice a sudden drop in oil pressure or an increase in engine noise, inspect the filter for clogging or leaks.
