Hello,

I can't find the part number for the o-rings, but I can assume that they must be available at your local dealership. If they are made from nitrile rubber, than you should be able to go to your local hardware store and maybe find them there for a lot cheaper. Please keep us informed as to how everything is progressing.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello and thank you for using 2CarPros. The diagram I have shows fittings you would actually need to replace at the oil filter housing. The seals are inside and are not sold separate. The fittings can actually be bought at any parts store.

Hope the diagram helps and if you need any more information don't hesitate to ask.
