oil filter

NAPA lists a 1080 filter for the 51 Kaiser. The filter may be ok but the gasket is not. Is there a better alternative?

Gaskets will last for many uses and you can turn the old one over for a better seal.  NAPA should have a gasket assortment to pick from.  Many filters use the same universal gasket.

The 1080 filter box should come with at least one gasket; the 1006s that are usable in the 54s always have two gaskets of different sizes.
