I bet you have a 2wd motor in there. Does the filter screw on from the side or bottom?

You need to get the oil cooler housing off a 4wd that has the oil filter that screws on from the side. Has your sump got a flat bottom or kinda pointy?

This is what I had to do. Easy enough job. Hard part was chasing up the gasket for it.

Either that or get a remote filter kit. But then thats more to bugger up.
