    In line oil filters

    Looking for correct arrow direction for the three in line filters. I believe the oil tank filter points toward the motor and the two compressor filters both point?..

    ..I was thinking that one of the oil lines for the compressor was a supply to the compressor. So they are both return lines?

    I just had this issue last night. Go by how JOE said, make sure the arrows point towards bearing. My old filters were total opposite of how the new ones sit, so definitely make sure you have the arrows on there. Not sure if it’s a new part or why they look that way.

    I have two backwards then.. They were replaced a while back with the new style.. I'm assuming that I"ll have to take it to get it oil primed if I turn those two around.?..

    shouldn't need reprime just to turn them around [arrow should indicate flow direction]
