Z134 Oil Filter

[miner09]

Anyone having trouble with the oil rubber ring being a little to small.Hard to make it seal and not leak. Manufacturers have made it not as wide and diameter smaller. I've tried two different brands and are the same. Always used Wix but they have been changed also.Dealer even said they are different but don't know why.

I just changed mine, used a Wix.

I do see I have a microscopic leak, got me thinking I better go back and have another look.

Possibly it could be stretched to fit better. It may have shrunk from sitting on the shelf a long time.

Just bought mine fresh off shelf and it's just smaller.If you tighten just a little to much the canister cuts gasket. Or it roll's off to edge.Got three filters that all I need is a bigger gasket. Probably never find just gasket.

That's why I always stretched them when needed, if they appeared a bit small. They need to fit tight against the block, stretching makes sure they do, then install the can quick as possible.

I was told that the AGCO filter from MF dealer will have the bigger rubber ring like original.

This is testing my memory, but I believe the same filter cartridge from Fram, Purolator,Wix, etc fits the Z134 can as the one used in the pot on 8N, 9N, but the gaskets are different for the one that sits in the block versus the one that goes in the lid on the 8N. In the old days you would often get two gaskets in the Fram box and choose the correct one for your tractor. I would always apply a little coating of grease to the gasket to hold it in place before installing on the TO-35.

Since it's for show why don't you do as someone else suggested and try an Agco part, it will most likely be correct gasket.
