Mac,

I could explain how O-rings are designed to fit a specific groove but that's more information than you need to know or would
remember.

Just call your local AutoZone or O'Reilly's and ask them if they have a part number Dorman 917-036 AND an oil filter for a 1975
Oldsmobile Toronado.

If they have them go and buy them. Take the parts home and pull the seal out of the oil filter and sit it next to the Dorman seal
and you will clearly see the difference. You need to have an oil filter adapter and oil cooler adapter to clearly see what the
problem is. .

When your Dick Paterson engine arrives you'll have those parts and you can install the Dorman O-ring.

OR

I took the measurements of the O-ring groove in the oil cooler adapter today and will do some research over the next day or so to
find the correct O-ring for that groove.

I guess the Dorman seal is slightly thinner, thereby precluding the cracking noted by John Heslinga???
