The AMS-Oiler engine pre-oiling system, Model
AMK-02, is designed for universal applications and can be installed
and operated at any angle. The AMK-02 can be mounted up to six
feet away from the engine using the provided ¼",
500 psi hose. Attachment at the oil pressure sender relay with
the addition of a "T" fitting accommodates the hose
fitting. The kit includes all the necessary fittings, hose,
and fasteners for installation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Read
all instructions completely before attempting to install
this unit. Improper installation could result in serious
system and/or equipment damage. The installation of this
system is not difficult, but some mechanical ability is
necessary. If you are not comfortable with the instructions
or have questions, do not attempt to install this system.
Consult a mechanic or contact AMSOIL INC. for further
instructions or assistance.
If installing
on a Japanese or European built vehicle utilizing Metric
or B.S.P. threads, additional parts may be required. Consult
step 0.1 before you continue.

Mounting and Connection to Oil Sender
A. Attaching the Bracket
- Turn ignition to OFF position.
- Survey the engine compartment for possible mounting locations.
Solid structures such as the firewall, fender well, radiator
support or frame are normal locations.
- When the location has been determined, locate and mark mounting
holes. This can be easily done with a center punch and hammer.
See diagram
A. Using a 5/16" drill bit, drill holes and install
mounting bracket (AMSOIL
Part # BP-247) using ¼"-20 x 1" hex head
bolts (AMSOIL Part # BP-234),
self-locking nuts (AMSOIL
Part # BP-233), and flat washers (AMSOIL
Part # BP-237). Tighten. Bolts should be tightened to
16-18 foot-pounds. 7/16" wrenches or socket will be required
for this operation
B. Attaching the AMS-Oiler
- The AMS-Oiler unit can mount to the bracket in three different
orientations. See diagram
B. This is to help make the plumbing as easy as possible.
Once you choose an orientation use an adjustable wrench to
attach the (AMSOIL Part #
BP-213) JIC Adapter into the access port on the AMS-Oiler
that faces the direction you want to run the hose. In the
other access port install the (AMSOIL
Part # BP-191) SAE-8 Plug using a 5/16" Allen wrench.
- Attach main accumulator assembly (AMSOIL
Part # BP-245) to the bracket (AMSOIL
Part # BP-247) using four ¼"- 20 x ½"
Allen head screws (AMSOIL
Part # BP-248). Apply the supplied thread sealant (AMSOIL
Part # BP-198) and tighten. See diagrams B
and C.
C. Attaching the Oil Supply
- Find a convenient place to connect into the oil system between
the oil filter and engine. On most engines there are access
plugs located close to the oil filter assembly. If you cannot
locate a viable access port you can "T" into the
oil supply at the oil sender location.
- If you have found an access port that is plugged that you
can use then follow Step 3. If you are teeing into the oil
pressure-sending unit follow step 4.
- Remove the plug. Clean the area of excess oil. If the port
is 1/8" NPT, install the JIC fitting adapter (AMSOIL
Part # BP-208) directly using thread sealant as noted
in diagram C.
If the port is 1/4" NPT use the 1/8" to 1/4"
bushing supplied in the kit and use thread sealant as noted
in diagram C
on both fittings. If the port is not 1/8" or 1/4"
pipe then it may be necessary to purchase an adapter not included
in the kit. Once complete with this step continue to Step
5.
- Locate oil pressure sending unit (see diagram E).
Remove unit and install "T" (AMSOIL
Part # BP-33) using thread sealant as noted in diagram
C
and tightening 2-3 turns beyond finger tight. Note:
See diagram E
if oil pressure sending unit has a 1/4" N.P.T. thread.
Note: Special adapters may be needed to install "T"
on some engines. Refer to the Oil Pressure Sending Unit Information
Guide. Occasionally, additional fittings may be needed. Reinstall
sending unit in one opening of the "T" and a fitting
adapter (AMSOIL Part # BP-208)
in the other. Use thread sealant and tighten as in diagram
C.
Use 90° Street Elbow (AMSOIL
Part # BP-52) if necessary, keeping in mind the direction
you wish the hose to intersect the fitting.
- Measure the amount of hose (AMSOIL
Part # BP-216) you will need to run from the Oil Pressure
Sending Unit "T" to the filter mount fitting labeled
IN. Additional length will be required to accommodate engine
movement during operation. Using a utility knife, squarely
cut the hose to the proper length. Note: The hose and fittings
supplied with this kit have been matched to provide maximum
performance and life expectancy. Interchanging with other
types or brands is not recommended and should be avoided.
Should additional hose be required, it may be obtained from
your AMSOIL Dealer by ordering part number (AMSOIL
Part # BP-216).
- Install hose fittings (AMSOIL
Part # BP-207) on both ends of the hose following the
instructions noted in diagram G.
Tools required are one 9/16" wrench and one 11/16"
wrench or vise. Note: Do not use any form of thread
sealant anywhere on the BP-207 hose fittings.
- Route and connect the hose assembly making sure the hose
does not contact any hot or moving surfaces or sharp edges.
Ensure a minimum of a 3/4" bend radius is maintained
at all corners. Also, bends in hose should not begin at hose
fittings. Using a 9/16" and 7/16" wrench, tighten
hose fitting swivel nut to 130-150 inch pounds or from finger
tight, rotate an additional 120° or 1/3 of a turn. See
diagrams F
and H
for additional details.
- Mechanical Assembly is complete. Proceed with instructions
for Electrical
Assembly.
- Check that all fittings are securely attached, and that
the hose is routed properly. Secure hose with supplied cable
ties (AMSOIL Part # BP-46).
