  • Publication number: 20060096934
    Abstract: An oil filter system includes an oil filter module and an adapter. The oil filter module includes a detent and an actuator. The adapter includes a protuberance and is configured to be secured to the engine. The oil filter module connects to the adapter when the detent secures to the protuberance as the oil filter module is urged into a connection position with the adapter. The oil filter module disconnects from the adapter when the actuator is actuated, thereby disengaging the detent from the protuberance.
