If you plumb it to an adapter and the filter has a one way valve, put it
after the adapter. Otherwise, you are going to need a one way valve to keep
it from backflushing the oil pump when you turn it on to prelube the engine
before startup.  ISTR putting a one way valve in when I built mine, though
it was nearly 15 years ago...
