Instructions and Owner’s Manual
The installation of the 0-1JR By-Pass Lube Oil Filter is a simple procedure.
Three generalized steps need to be completed in order to install the filter.
These steps are as follows:
- Mount the filter in a convenient place as close to the engine as
possible.
- Obtain oil pressure supply from the engine and connect via hose to
the filter housing.
- Return the oil from the filter housing via hose to the oil pan of
the engine.

GCF has supplied you with a generic-fitting package that should be adequate
for your engine. However, on many foreign engines metric adapters may be required
for the installation of the pressure source. Most auto parts stores stock
metric to standard adapters. Also, on some U.S. engines it may be required to
use a larger pipe size for the oil pressure sensor. Therefore, most any hardware
store will stock pipe fittings and bushings that will assist you in completing
your installation.
In the process of routing the input and output hoses for the 0-1 JR filter,
insure that you use tiewraps or other means to keep the hoses away from exhaust
manifolds, exhaust pipes and other hot spots under the hood.
The O-1 JR filter housing does not have to be mounted vertically. The filter can
be mounted at any angle, however, we recommend vertical mounting to minimize
spillage of oil when changing the filter element
After installing the 0-1 JR filter, add one quart of oil in the engine, start
the engine and allow the engine to reach operating temperature. Check all
connections and the filter housing for leaks.
Deep Part of Oil Pan
Special Notes For Oil Pan Connection
Locate a flat surface area on the middle portion of the oil pan to install the
GCF self-tapping hollow return bolt. If the hollow bolt is to be installed above
the oil level, insure that the hollow bolt will be located below the level of
the crankshaft of the engine. Installing hollow bolt to high in the oil pan
could allow the return flow of oil to be directed onto the rotating crankshaft.
This could cause oil consumption and possible damage to the engine.
Use a standard punch, which is slightly smaller than the GCF self-tapping hollow
bolt, to make a hole in the lower portion of the oil pan. Using rubbing alcohol
and a cotton ball, clean pan surface.
Warning !!!
Do not attempt to punch hole in cast-iron or aluminum oil pans. These must be
drilled and tapped 1/8" NPT.
Once the proper size hole has been made, insert the GCF self-tapping hollow bolt
with sealing washer into the oil pan using a 9/16” wrench. Apply a small
amount of silicon sealant on the rubber washer to ensure a proper seal. (*Note:
Before installing hollow bolt, ensure that the pan surface is free of dirt, oil,
grease, etc.)
Warning !!!
Do not over tighten GCF self-tapping hollow bolt. After the sealing washer makes
contact with the oil pan, make a ¾ turn to achieve sealing.
0-1 JR Maintenance & Replacement Parts
Exterior Care: The Model O-1 JR filter is constructed of non-corrosive
materials. However, in salty environments, such as driving on roads that have
been salted for de-icing or on marine applications in saltwater environments, we
suggest rinsing the unit with fresh water on a periodic basis.
Clamp Adjustment: After installation and the first 500 miles of use the
lid clamp of the 0-1 JR should be checked for proper adjustment. Release the lid
clamp and attempt to close it once again. It should require significant pressure
using one hand to close the clamp. If the clamp can be closed with a
minimal effort, tighten the clamp by making turns on the 3/8" adjustment
nut located on the clamp. Start by making one or two complete turns on the
adjustment nut and then re-test the clamp as mentioned above until significant
pressure is required to close the clamp.
