Replacement oil filter seals ?

[901Memphis]

I bought some old stock Blue PureOnes off eBay in like 2010. The gaskets were sort of dry rotted. I emailed the seller about it and he somehow talked to Purolator and they mailed him 4 new gaskets for the filters and he mailed them to me. Was pretty quick...don't know what happened to them they used to be good.

Anyways, i did one time get new gaskets!

I once tried a torque wrench set to 100 inch pounds and that overloaded the seal too.

No need to keep track of how much the filter has moved. Just turn it hand tight, and you're done.

Exactly.

That's my whole problem - my hand tight is too tight for that filter seal. I'm never satisfied until I can't turn it no more. And then if my hand starts to slip, I look for ways to gain a better grip so I can turn it even tighter. I need to see an oil filter psychiatrist.

I happened to be on NAPA's site today looking for something else and for the heck of it, found them here as well. Using my Dakota as an example, a replacement gasket would be $3.69 -- for that price you'd probably be better off getting a Proselect filter ($3.49) and scavenging the seal from it.

The Denso oil filters have a built in torque stop that assures the o-ring seal is deformed to design spec.No guessing.
