I found a source for Frantz as I wanted to replace the rubber "o-ring" and saw they had filters. I thought "This is better than the John Wayne toilet paper those guys on Stovebolt suggested." So I ordered 4 of their "cellulose" filters you can see here: https://www.frantzfilters.com/product-tag/parts/?orderby=popularityWell I got my order yesterday and I'm here to tell you what I bought was FOUR ROLLS OF JOHN WAYNE TOILET PAPER!!!!!! At least the hole in the center is the correct size for the center of my oil filter and the o-ring is a perfect fit

Buy a case of TP from the local "No Tell Motel" and you'll be good to go for a long time!
