Before beginning the install be sure to have the necessary equipment to change out an oil filter. An oil sample may have been requested, collect a sample after the completion of the install.

Oil condition sensor install

1. Locate and remove the oil filter.

2. follow manufacturer’s instructions on oil filter removal.

3. Installing the 5 plugs to the spacer.

4. Install the spacer in the filter location.

5. Choose one of the ports free of obstruction for sensor install.

6. Mark the desired location of the sensor.

7. Remove the spacer.

8. Install the 5 plugs into the spacer leaving the marked location open for the sensor.

9. Installing the set screw.

10. Install the spacer block as you would the typical oil filter.

11. There are three threaded holes in the spacer for inserting a set screw. Choose a set screw hole that is not over an empty space.

12. Apply Loctite to the set screw. Insert the set screw into the spacer.
    
    Note : The purpose of the set screw it to prevent the spacer from backing out during normal operation and oil filter changes.

13. Install the oil condition sensor into the spacer block.

14. Find a location to mount the Universal Transmitter within the harness reach.
    Note : It is best to have the Universal Transmitter mounted against a flat surface. The connector should not be pointed up as that may allow water to follow the wires to the connector. It is best to have water follow the wires away from the connector.

15. The center of the box is designed to retain a strap.

16. The holes at the four corners can be used for tie strap or bolts.
    

17. Attached the harness to the universal transmitter.

18. Press the red tab into the locked position.

19. Attach the connector to the sensor.

20. Lock the connector by pressing on the red tab of the connector.

21. Secure the wires to the connector by creating a loop and using a zip tie. The loop should be 3 to 6 inches.

22. Secure the wire lead to the connector with a zip tie.

23. Attach the ring terminal on the harness to the spacer block.
    

24. Install the oil filter.
    

Harness install

1. Determine the locations from which to get switched (key) power and ground.
2. Power should be connected to a 5A fuse.
3. If an existing 5A circuit cannot be found, simply add a 5A inline fuse to the harness.
4. Route the power and ground, from any installed universal transmitter harness to the intended power source.
5. Keep harness away from hot locations such as around the turbocharger.
6. The harness should have retention about every 12″.
7. Avoid attaching the harness to moving parts. If attached to a hinged part, such as a hood, make sure there is enough slack to cover the distance of the movement.
8. All electrical connections made outside of the cab should be made watertight.
9. Solder splices covered by adhesive-lined heat shrink are preferred.
10. If butt splice connectors are used it is recommended to use a type that comes sheaved in adhesive lined heat shrink.
11. Electrical tape should not be considered waterproof or permanent.
12. Use zip ties to secure the harness.
