ggcnash Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi guys, recently got an oil leak from OFA which has a 5/8 bolt head In case that matters, went to parts store picked up a dorman kit ,dang thing leaked worse than before! Last week went to dealership picked these up couldn't find a kit like I've read about had to purchase individually. Now I've been reading online these may be wrong! thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 P/n 4720363 is the correct oil filter adapter o-ring kit for the for the 91-92 XJ/MJ up to 7-19-92. I got mine at Hesco, but they are available in many places, like Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine at Hesco, but they are available in many places, like Ebay.So these are not correct? After purchasing, I read where cruiser posted these PN#'s for renix. Then just read Minuits post where he put up a kit that fit from 87 till mid 91? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggcnash Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Does the kit give individual part #'s ? Maybe these are it, just not the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Here is the kit I installed. No individual part numbers are given but the part number of the kit is very similar to the Jeep part numbers. Didn't think to measure the o-rings but they fit like they belonged there. From what I recall the Dorman kit was missing at least one of the o-rings I needed, so I substituted one from a parts store that was similar but slightly too big (and made the OFA bolt extremely difficult to install). When I removed that o-ring after about 5,000 miles it was badly damaged and extremely hard: I think I read somewhere that the Dorman kit sold in parts stores fit the later ('93 on up) engines with the Torx bolt.

Thanks, wish I could have gotten 5k out of the dorman kit only got about 30 miles before it was leaking worse than before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Never had good luck out of ANY Dorman product, to be honest. I just put a Dorman oil pan on my truck recently. It's ever so slightly too long (tight fit at the RMS area) and the oil pan gasket leaked unless excessive torque was put on the bolts. Should've just gone to the JY and found a later model pan, but I was tired of working on Jeeps by that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
