Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the housing and cap markings before installation, especially on applications that note UFI-marked housings or caps. Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and engine-specific filter housing before ordering, since fitment is tied to the listed OE application. Replace the filter during the oil change interval recommended by the vehicle manufacturer and use the correct oil specification for the engine.
