Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, mounting location, and engine application before installation. This solenoid uses a single mounting hole and a round female connector with blade terminals, so matching the OE connector and housing dimensions is important for proper fit. Clean the mounting surface and inspect the oil passages and electrical connector for contamination or damage before installing the new unit. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for the exact model year and engine configuration, especially on Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, and Lincoln Mark LT applications.
