Oil Filter Adapter Gasket
Hello all,
New to the forums, but looked around and while some threads seem similar I'm not exactly sure if they match my problem. Could be a lack of correct terminology on my part.
Recently took my Girlfriends 2000 F250 6.8L 4WD EFI to the dealership to see if they could find what was leaking oil. 3 days later they called us and said it was the oil filter adapter gasket. We were informed it would cost $600 to fix it. Considering what time of the year it is and how much that cost seems to be inflated due to it being a dealership I wanted to ask here if anyone had an idea of where I could locate the exact name of this part and where I might find some materials in guiding me along replacing this specific item.
Once again it sounds similar to this post: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...er-leak-2.html as well as this thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...k-finally.html , but I wasn't completely sure if they were the same issues.
Could it be the O ring referenced here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ml#post6556629 that sits between the cooler and the block?
Thanks!

Oil filter adapter?
Are they talking mambo-jumbo?
The linked thread says about oil cooler leaks. I am having the same issue on my 7.3 what seems to show on cold days. I already bough the orings and gaskets for $60 and am trying to find couple of hours to get on them. Check your engine section for more precise advice?

The thread that you linked to was for a gasser oil cooler. Our diesel's have a much larger oil cooler and there is a gasket that is between the end bracket of the oil cooler, where the filter screws on and the engine block. That may be where the dealer found the leak.
I would suggest that you rebuild the entire oil cooler rather than try to replace just the one gasket because you will probably have the cooler begin to leak if you attempt to reuse the old o-rings on the tube.

The link you provided to Product ID: #15-001 Oil Cooler Seal Kit DieselOrings is listed as 2 gaskets and 4 o-rings to repair / re-seal the oil cooler on the 1994 to 2003 7.3L Ford diesel engines. As stated in my previous post we don't have a diesel based truck. Will that kit still be compatible or will I need to get a kit similar, but specifically made for standard fuel F250's?

Sorry, missed that the truck was not diesel. That oil cooler would be quite different but I would still recommend that it be rebuilt.
