If not try any auto parts store or Tractor Supply. You may get lucky.

You may have to cross reference numbers to find one that fits. Wix typically has one that will fit. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 805 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 805 | Get a sheet of cork gasket material from your FLAPS and cut one out for yourself. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 1,214 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 1,214 | Go to your FLAPS or a TSC and look for a WIX 51100, 51006 or a Fram 1100. These are cartridge type oil filters of very similar size (they are basically interchangable). They include a rubber top seal. Take your old one and see if they match up.
Good luck

Check the gasket that's included with the filter element to be sure the gasket fits the lid. Some filters come with two different diameter gaskets to fit different canisters.
