Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper installation, first verify that your vehicle's fuel housing uses an M14x1.5 thread. When replacing the old unit, lubricate the new filter's rubber seal with a light coating of clean fuel or engine oil. Thread the filter onto the mounting stud by hand until it makes contact, then use a torque wrench to tighten it to exactly 14 Nm. Always bleed the fuel system according to your vehicle's service manual after installation to remove trapped air. Routine care involves checking the filter exterior for signs of corrosion or leakage every time the engine oil is changed.
