Onan and MEP002A – MEP003A Spin On Oil Conversion Kit

This adapter kit allows the quick conversion of open element and canister type oil filters common on the MEP002A and MEP003A and many Onan generators to use readily available spin-on elements. This kit includes everything needed to make the conversion except the filters themselves, Loctite and the few tools necessary for the job.

Installation Instructions:

• Remove original oil filter canister assembly.
• Remove original canister-to-engine block seal and clean seal groove.
• Clean center threaded hole with solvent or spray degreaser.
• Lightly lubricate with oil and install the provided new seal into the groove on the engine block.
• Install the adapter plate with the specifications text side facing OUT. Orient the flow-through holes with one at the top and one at the bottom (12 & 6 o’clock).
• Apply Blue Loctite to the flat end threads and screw in the provided oil filter center threaded fitting with the tapered end facing OUT.
• Tighten the center threaded fitting to 30 Ft/Lbs.
• Lubricate the new oil filter (not included) seal with oil and screw on hand-tight.
