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.
A. Getting Started
- Check all parts against the parts list and
inspect for damage.
- Make sure you have the tools needed for the
job.

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).
