2001 Ford F450 Power Stroke Diesel 7.3
L
AMSOIL Dual Remote
By-Pass Filter System
Submitted by AMSOIL Dealer Vic Sledszinski
Special Instructions:
"I recently had the opportunity
to install an Amsoil Dual Remote By-Pass Oil Filtration System
on a Ford 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel. Due to very limited "under-the-hood"
room, it was decided to install the filter mount to the truck
frame just in front of the driver side door. Installation
was quite simple, very neat, and provides easy access to the
oil filters and the oil sampling petcock. The AMSOIL Part
Number for the kit for the Ford Power Stroke is BMK-16 and
includes all necessary parts, including both filters, for
the installation. For this particular installation, two 90°
fittings were needed and purchased locally for the filter
mount and the optional BK-13 (Oil Sampling Petcock Valve)
was purchased from AMSOIL INC. for oil sampling capabilities.
Below are some illustrations of the installation." Vic

| The
filter mounting location is sometimes the most
difficult part of the installation procedure.
In the case of the Ford Power Stroke Diesel, an
under-the-hood location was not possible due to
space limitations. A very convenient location
was found on the truck frame on the driver's side
just in front of the door. We used two existing
holes in the frame and drilled two 1/4" holes
to secure the filter mount to the frame. |
This
is another picture of the filter mount bolted
to the frame. This location was about 3' from
the original oil filter location and made for
very easy routing of the oil supply and return
hoses. |

illustration shows the spin-on adapter installed
on the original oil filter location on the engine.
A pair of 1/2" hydraulic 90° hose fittings
were needed in this installation to prevent sharp
bends in the hoses. |
This
is a shot from the left rear of the truck with
the oil filters installed on the filter mount.
Note that the bottom of the filters are above
the frame's cross member. |

are easily accessible for replacement and the
oil sampling petcock makes for easy oil sampling.
The filter installation increases the oil capacity
by about 1 quart. Sixteen quarts of Amsoil 15W-40
Heavy Duty Diesel Oil was used for this application. |
