Ooops!

Can you not use the old o-ring?

[Adnan]

While I was changing my oil filter I had dropped the tiny O-ring in the crevice between the fusebox and the car's frame, closer to the from no the windshield. Is it gone for good or can I get a replacement at the dealer? Advance Auto has a kit for 6.99 that was useless because the smallest o-ring was slightly bigger and therefore useless and now it's stuck somewhere in my canister...

Hi,

The easiest thing to do might be to open up a second filter, "borrow" the o-ring and remember to reuse it when it's time for the next oil change.

The worst that can happen if it leaks is a slow leakdown of the oil canister.

Adnan

all of the o rings and washers come with the filter when you buy it from the dealer.

you could also buy them separately says on of my buddies at the desk but the smallest one has to be ordered! figures.
