Anyone seen filter gasket this thick? What filter do I really have?
I’ll start this by saying my existing filter top has a gasket that is 3/16” thick and that is 3x what comes with the Napa gold 1010 cartridge. I went thru the oil filter tech sticky and mine is smaller diameter than the s6 shown there….My filter is labeled a S6, but i know decals & paint are easy to get and install…
My filter housing see pic is 4-1/8” od with lid off
The engine filter was on the truck when I got it, the engine was built by Troy Robinson (according to his plaque), so my quests is he installed it??? When doing the engine…
Existing Gasket: 4.2" OD 3.75" ID 3/16" tall 1/4" +-wide
Housing is 4-1/8 od x +-5"t
Uses Napa gold 1010 filter Cartridge has 1/2" id center hole 3-3/4 od x 3-3/4 t, gasket with filter fits lid perfect but is only 3/32 thick
Typically when you buy a new filter, the gasket comes with it. At least when you buy from "fillingstation.com", it does.

The only bypass filter I've seen that's worth the effort to install it is the Frantz model that uses a roll of cheap toilet paper as an element. Some of the early Frantz conversions used the Fram or AC canister, with modified internal parts. Later, Frantz started selling their own polished stainless steel canister.
I like to use a spin-on Diesel fuel filter in a bypass configuration- - - -it strains out MUCH smaller particles than a regular original equipment type filter. Jerry

I've never bought a filter cartridge that didn't come with a new rubber seal. It doesn't matter what brand of filter or what company they're purchased fro, they all come with new seals. I have so many stashed because the old ones often don't need to be replaced that I'll never use them all..
The seals for those filters are normally only about 1/16" thick or maybe a little more. Don't worry about the 3/32". That's correct. Your old one may or may not be correct and likely swelled over the years.
Your filter is definitely not an S-6. The OD of the seal on an S-6 is 5 1/4"

I’ll have to review the bottom of the canister further next time in the shop… I do find parts on my truck are not year correct, seems whoever assembled her after body work was a bit fast n loose, we just replace and keep Hank moving’ on down the road…… Was hoping that gasket was correct for some canister so I would not need to source a one off…. Btw : definitely a bypass filter Chuck

Hank's custodian I've hit gasket trouble with those too,had different brands from old filters setting on the shelf shrunk up. That thick one might blow out like a double gasket mistake on a screw on. Just changed her oil in the wind,happened to think might have left a gasket on the block,got right up and looked old gasket was on the junk filter.
