I understand that there is supposed to be a spring in the oil pan. From going through the archives on this forum, I see the consensus is that the spring goes below the filter- to hold it up. However, at the dealer, they show the spring on TOP of the oil filter- Now I'm confused, I bought the proper spring, but am unsure of where to put it! HELP!

On my TO20 the spring is above the filter screen I am pretty sure just like the book shows . I don't have any spring next to the oil filter either on top or below, maybe I should have?
Anyway the oil is filtered from the inside out and is a partial flow filter. Oil is fed to the filter from the center main after it has lubricated the engine. Oil is metered to the filter via a small hole in the side of the pipe that the filter slides up into the engine on. I would guess only 5-10% of oil gets filtered in one pass thru the engine. I would want t spring on top of the filter screen to hold it down to bottom of pan. If you still have room for another spring I don't think it would matter much if on top or below the filteras the metering hole for the filter is far enough up the pipe to allow oil to the filter if the filter was way uo or way down. Anyway that's the way I see it.I could be wrong.

Hey, Barn? I'm more confused now than I was before you started this post! Where's Dell in all this? I'd like to hear his opinion about this..... .I would think he could strtaighten this whole fiasco out, and clear up the confusion and conflicting opinions. I was gonna drain my newly changed oil and install the spring I had just purchased from the dealer- but now, why bother, as I'm not sure where it goes?

As I was trying to show with the two links:

If you fit the spring on the wrong side, the filter has no function at all, the pump sucking up goo and all.

The position of the spring depends on the filter housings used by the different manufactureres.
Take a look at these links and see for yourself.

H.T.:I don't know how Barney made out....but I can't make heads or tales out the photo in the link for the Continental engine. From what you're saying- it sounds like the spring goes on top, to push the filter down? I'm confused- everyone seems to have a different opinion on this- I think maybe I'll do what that dealer book showed.

Thanks for trying.

Yeah...I'd like to know the same thing- I've seen that dealer diagram too- but after thinking about it, it would seem to me (this is just my opinion- not fact) that the spring should go under the filter- to hold it up, so that the bottom of the pan is clear to hold a nice puddle of oil for the oil pump to pick up. But I could be wrong.
