There are also different gaskets. The only one that fits is the OEM type. It's rubber and fairly thick, with metal inserts. There is also a rubber gasket that is as thin as the cork. It works even worse than the cork one does.
Thank you. by chance do you know who carries the right gasket? Would the dealer have it?

If you have a NAPA store nearby, Wix makes the filters for NAPA.

Thanks, i think i'm good on the filter, just looking for the right gasket.


@Mark, I just got off the phone with Xtreme diesel and while the kit does have a rubber filter in it, i think the dealer might be the best way to go if its needed.

Thanks!

Hey Mark,
We dropped the pan to take a look at the gasket and i'm glad we did, its in pretty bad shape. To follow your flushing instructions, should we put the pan back up and add the old fluid or can we junk that fluid and just switch the process up a little bit and use this as the first 6 quart flush?

Thanks for your help.

There is no reason to put the old fluid back in. Once you put the pan back on go to step #3.
