Oil Filter Adapter for Spin-on Filter -Torque?

John Kollen · Jul 29, 2013

I bought the adapter for the spin-on oil filter conversion. You will need a 1 5/8 to take the old center bolt adapter off & 1 1/2 socket wrench to install the new center adapter. My question is, what torque is required to compress the rubber outer seal?

Always mention which tractor you are working on.
I doubt there is a specific torque setting.
But I'm more familiar with 3 cylinder Fords than the 4 cyl models.
The oring should start to compress and then the bolt/shoulder will bottom out. Give it 80 ft lbs and you should be ok.
