Oil conversion kit<\/h1>\n

It has taken a while but the oil conversion kit for the Ford Zodiac<\/a> is finally installed! I bought the kit way back in 2017 but life intervened and it has finally been installed in 2020.<\/p>\n

What is a oil conversion kit?<\/h2>\n

What is a o<\/a>il conversion kit, also known as a oil filter adaptor;<\/p>\n

O<\/i><\/span><\/span>i\"oil<\/a>l filter adaptors enable older oil filter systems to use modern spin-on oil filters and are available for a wide range of classic cars. <\/i><\/span><\/span>They <\/i><\/span><\/span>are easy to fit and therefore make changing the oil filter a clean and simple operation.\u00a0 The adaptors do not affect oil<\/i><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span>pressure\u00a0switches, warning lights, or pressure-relief valves.<\/i><\/span><\/span> <\/i><\/p>\n

In many cases they will provide improved start-up oil pressure. This is due to the use of anti-drain valves in modern spin-on oil filters<\/a>. Besides that all cars will benefit from the improved filtration found with modern filters.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Installing the oil conversion kit is pretty straight forward. I started the Zodiac and let it idle to get the oil in the engine warm. Then I drained the oil from the engine. After that I had to remove the tray for the battery to gain access to the old filter. The old oil filter came off fairly easy. It even did not leak a lot of oil, so no mess! A new seal has been fitted, the conversion attached and bolted on. And a modern spinn on oil filter is put in place.<\/p>\n

The engine was filled with approxiamately 4.8 litres of new oil. Curious if everything was ok and no oil was leaking I started the engine. And it ran beautifully. No leaks or weird noises, everything fine! I lett the car stand for the night, checked the oil level agin and topped up the oil to the corrrect level.<\/p>\n

All this took about 4 hours in total. No it is time for regular maintenance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
