I ended up re-using the old one since it was in decent shape, and I'm not sure how long I can get away with that!
Anyone else run into this? Is there a better filter and gasket out there? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | I use Wix 51006. It comes with two different size gaskets.

Should be 2 gaskets. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...ridge-Lube-Filter/_/R-FIL1006_0477913322

I was over at Jim Carter's the other day and picked up a new filter with correct gasket.
It was a Wix 51001 | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Probably a bean counter at NAPA trying to save a few pennies. You need to go back & complain to NAPA.
