oil cooler sandwich gasket??

[reallyslowfwd]

so after doin the first oil change on my new spyder when for a little drive. long story short oil filter nut was loose and my filter came loose. not knowing the nut was loose tightened the filter up to here a nice pop sound and a chunk of orange gasket fly out at me from the dark. got it tore down today to find the gasket between the sandwich adapter and the housing is missing about an inch long chunk. Ive been to all the local parts stores and none of them carry said gasket or cant find it in there system. where can i get one??? having to order one from an online vender is currently my last option because im gonna need my car running asap being its my dd. any help info advice greatly appreciated.

That is going to be a dealer only item. You will have to get it from the dealer or an online vendor.

I was afraid of that, anyone know of any venders who do carry it? or the part number? maybe I can get lucky and I can get one from the local Dodge dealer seeing on how the closest mitsu dealer is a good hr away

The part number is, MD620908.

I thought you could simply use a gasket off of a 2g turbo oil filter. I am talkin about the rubber gasket on the oil filter itself. A new gasket of course...

The oil filter gasket is a different diameter and not near thick enough.

Make sure when you put it back together to clean the oil from the threads of the stud and inside the filter housing and put some red loctite on the stud and torque it properly with a torque wrench.

I've done the oil filter gasket thing before in a pinch. Go to a parts store and try and match the size.

I have replaced it with a filter gasket as well with out a problem, but using the oem gasket will definetely be the best obsion.
