Amsoil Oil Bypass installation for Nissan Titan 2016-2019 Cummins ISV 5.0
The Amsoil parts used:
BMK34 - Cummins 5.0/5.9/6.7L Single-Remote Bypass System (includes bypass filter EaBP90
BK1104 – Aluminum adapter
Installation NOTE: You will need to remove your primary full flow oil filter. It is recommended you replace it during this time. Amsoil EA080 is recommended.
Depending on which filter you use, you will need 12-13 quarts of oil with this new system. If adding mid oil change interval, you will simply need to add 2-3 quarts of oil depending on the full flow filter you are running. 13 Quarts if running EA080 or WIX 57620XP or any 6.7 Cummins Filters.
Additional parts. You can utilize 5/16 self-tapping screws and lock washer. For a cleaner install and easy to remove when needed, it is recommended that you use a 5/16 riv-nut/nutsert and a 5/16-18 x 1.5” or 8MM options are available. You can use Astro Pneumatic Tool 1442 13" Hand Rivet Nut Setter Kit – from Amazon for cleanest install.
Required tools and products:
1/8”, 1/4", 7/16” drill bits (if not using nutsert not all bits are necessary.
If using self-tappers, then 1/8” and 1/4”
42” and 24” of hose cut from what is provided from the bypass kit
545 Loctite
Zip tie stick on mount
Zip tie
Assortment of wrenches and sockets for fittings and 5/16 bolts/screws.
The recommended location for the filter mount is on the inside of the driver’s side frame rail, just below the radiator lower cover. The filter can be mounted up to a 90-degree angle. I recommended shooting for around 70-80 degrees, leaving room for the filter to still be mostly protected by the frame in case of impact. I have attached pictures of a 90-degree install as well. You will need to remove you P4x aluminum skid plate, or your plastic dust/splash guard depending on which you have.
Cut your hoses included in the kit to the lengths mentioned above (42” and 24”). Position the mount with filter installed to where you want the filter and mark it or hit it with a punch in one of the mount holes. Use the template to start off the three holes by using a punch or starting with the 1/8” drill bit. From here, continue to bump up to the drill bits listed above until you are ready for a self-tapper or a nutsert. Use your 5/16-18x1.5” bolt or your 5/16 tappers to mount the base.
Remove your full flow oil filter, and thread on the BK1104 adapter. Tighten the adapter to the torque specific which is around 50 lbs. The port on the adapter should face the front of the truck. You can put your full flow filter back on at any time at this point or after or replace with new. Lines near filter can be pushed around. You can now install the brass fittings. Recommended layout is using the 90 degree on the bottom of the adapter facing the passenger side of the truck. Use the 50-degree fitting on topside of filter base, and it should face the power steering pully. Each fitting should go on a half to full turn past hand tight, using Loctite on the first three threads of each one.
Assemble the hoses you cut earlier per the instructions provided by Amsoil. Use Loctite on the first three threads of each. These are two-piece fittings. NOTE – the first piece screws onto the hose COUNTERCLOCKWISE. The second piece screws onto the first fitting and goes into the hose. You can dab some oil on the second fitting where it will slide down into the hose to make it easier. You may install a 90-degree fitting on the new Amsoil fill cap at this time using Loctite on first three threads. Attach one end of the 42” hose to the fill cap.
Run the 24” hose from the 90-degree fitting to the BK1104 adapter. Find where the hose naturally runs and apply a zip tie sick on mount to the lower radiator shroud. Clean it off with some alcohol or acetone before applying. Use a zip tie to brace hose to zip tie mount. You can now thread on the EaBP90 filter. You can add a little oil into the filter, minding it will be mounted sideways.
Next run the 42” hose up towards the oil fill cap, using zip ties to brace it every few inches to the metal power steering line. This will keep all the lines safely braced and away from moving parts. You don’t want the hose making any kinks or tight bends. Remove your OEM oil fill cap and replace with the bypass fill cap. Thread on the other end of the 42” hose if you didn’t do so earlier, using Loctite.
