I Googled Dorman P/N 917-036 and all the sources, for example Amazon, claim that that "This does not fit your: 1976 Oldsmobile Toronado". Or that they are a "Kit Set of 3 for Nissan Infiniti" at AutoZone etc.

That is correct. The O ring that Rob identified is not for an Oldsmobile. In fact it is a little bit on the small side. (Total Diameter)

HOWEVER: It works very well on the Oldsmobile adaptor. You will need to stretch it a tiny bit to get it into the groove of the Cooler Adapor. I used it too!!!

By torqueing the adaptor to the required torque the metal to metal fit of the two parts will keep them from spinnig on each other, and the pressure is spread over the entire flange of the filter adaptor. The crush of the O ring will seal the fitting properly.

As was suggested I, too used an oil filter O-ring (new one) and when I torqued to the required torque, The pressure from the harder o-ring cracked the Filter Adaptor flange because the pressure was too localized or too uneven on the outer part of flange. (There is too much rubber there).
