Scroll down and click on the red part # for #8.

Woody, all of the oil filter o-rings (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=engine%3Afilteroring) are the same for the FJ.
I did not look at the price from Woody's or any other FJ supplier, but I am pretty sure you will find it cheaper here. (http://www.rpmracingca.com/)

Hi i purchased one of these and its too big i also had one free with a filter too big also im puzzled.
Cheers, Woody. I can confirm the existance of filter housing O-rings that are too big. Bought some off brand filters (Hi Flo or something like that) which included the filter housing bolt o-ring and the housing o-ring - the one for the housing was too big. Fram also includes both o-rings, and they are the proper size. I just used my last "old-style" Fram filter and will be purchasing a spin on adapter from Randy before the next oil change.

Some other bikes, Kawasaki I think, use the same filter cartridge and that must be the O-ring that's supplied with some of the aftermarket filters. At least you're not paying extra for the wrong O-ring.

You received an o-ring from me, RPM?
The o-ring I sell fits the O.E. canister and the RPM oil filter conversion kit.
It might be time for a picture of your housing.
