Good fit, no more leaking ON the oil filter! please check to replace this first if you have a leak near your oil filter... some may lead you to believe you need a main baring seal $$$$$
Make sure metal cap is "flat", i put mine on flat diamond sharpening tool and flat file to make sure its perfectly level so it will make a straight seal. I made sure it was perfectly clean (no oil) and put gasket on dry and made sure to not over tighten.
(Should use a torque wrench on the 2 - 10mm bolts at 87 inch Lbs.)
This is how Felpro and GM did it from factory. So it should last another 270k miles.
You know its better than OEM without question if Felpro is the brand. It’s an easy job. No mystery parts will jump out of the engine when you unbolt the plate. If 15 mechanics said you need a rear main seal but there is no oil coming out of the weep-hole in the starter and no oil over the bellhousing, then it’s likely this 15-minute fix is it.
Notes:
It's fine for a block-off plate, NOT an oil cooler which needs two holes to separate the lines. See pic in folder
2 - 10mm bolts should be tightened to 87 inch Lbs
Time for an oil change and I think my oil cooler bypass port cover gasket is leaking. I sourced a new Fel-pro gasket at the local parts store - my question is does this gasket require some type of sealant or does it go on dry? I've searched the forum and know the torque on the 2 bolts is very light, but nowhere could i find the answer regarding sealant. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

No sealant. Be mindful of the torque settings for those two mounting bolts. It is quite low and if you give the bolts too much torque you stand the chance of stripping out the bolt holes in the oil pan. A previous owner of my EXT did just that and I fought oil leaks until I finally just had the oil pan replaced. Torque 87 inch Lbs
And just for information, there are two different gaskets used at that location.
The gasket for the oil cooler line set has two round port openings. The gasket for applications that do not have the oil cooler, but instead have the bypass adapter, the gasket has one larger oval port hole.
The engine oil coolers used on most of today's modern vehicles are essentially water-to-oil heat exchangers. Oil coolers use the engine cooling system to remove excess heat from the engine oil. The coolers are supplied with engine oil from an adapter that sits between the engine block and the oil filter. Oil from the engine is circulated into the oil cooler, where coolant from the vehicle's radiator system circulates, creating a condition similar to most air conditioning units in our homes. Instead of cooling the oil, heat is removed.

MIO AMICO CARISSIMO MOLTO CARO JOHN AMICO MIO CARISSIMO HO SEGUITO TUO TUTTO VIDEO MOLTO IMPORTANTE E MOLTO INTERESSANTE SE NON SBAGLIO PERDONAMI SE COSI E MI SEMPRA CHE PARLI DEL FILTRO E DEL CAMBIO GUARNIZIONE grazie di tua ESPERIENZA CHE DI DONI A NOI un caro saluto dalla SICILIA tuo AMICO GIUSEPPE
Grazie per la domanda Giuseppe. La guarnizione del coperchio della porta di bypass del radiatore dell'olio perde. Il coperchio e' vicino al filtro dell'olio.
L'olio del motore viene fatto circolare nel radiatore dell'olio, dove circola il liquido di raffreddamento del sistema di radiatori del veicolo, creando una condizione simile a quella della maggior parte dei condizionatori delle nostre case. Invece di raffreddare l'olio, il calore viene rimosso. Non so de l'ho spirgato bene. Buona fin settimana.
Superb👍👍👍
Thanks for liking
On the gasket it has a lip on one side and flat on other side. How does it go?
If you purchased the same one we did, it does not have a lip on either side.
good guidance on this job mate

Thanks, you too!
