Got the new one . Looked thru all the manuals. What is the torque to install this thing ?

The adapter is about 6" long, passes thru the oil cooler , has about a 20mm hex internal on the filter end.
The opposite end had an oring and detents to line up installation Just no info on how much oooomph to put on this.

Photos included for clarity as the words " oil cooler" evidently means different parts to different cars.

 

Assuming the obvious but I reckon it's the same for the Ford F series if you can find that...

 

the oil filter housing is torqued to 15 lb ft. / 20 Nm.
check the engine section of the workshop manual.

cheers

 

Yes for the filter, but I understood the language was asking for the cooler?

 

operative word "housing".

 

Update on the Oil Cooler.

Turns out there is a "slight" difference in the outer ring that mates to the actual Oil filter housing. Not the oil filter.

The new cooler has a ring around the outer edge , PIC Attached, that is a complete circle.

The Jag unit has the same ring , But is has a Cutout portion to dodge one of the lobes on the filter housing.

Its no big deal as it can be handled in 1 of 2 ways. Either trim the ring in that area . Or as I did , Torque the unit down a little more., I. E 20 ft lbs and the outer ring will deform to match the housing..



This one really shows the difference. The cutouts are very noticeable and represent no challenge to modify.
For a difference of Jag = $400 vs Ford = $80 , Ill take the ford and can attest it works fine.
