is there a gasket needed for that?

That's funny. I just broke that damn thing last week. What a pita.

The oil filter housing is 40-47 dollars new from the dealer. They don't have them in stock. Dennis had the gasket. It was a 1.47.

You'll have to take the pulley and all of the belts off of the car. There are at least 4 or 5 bolts you have to take out of the timing belt cover. Once those bolts are off, you can probably pull the cover back just enough to get to the top bolt for the oil filter housing. Why Mitsu decided to put ONE friggin bolt behind that cover is a mystery to me. The swap would be so easy if it wasn't for that.

You'll need a 24mm deep socket to get the oil cooler off of the housing. When you put this back on, DON't overtighten it. It has small fins inside of it like a radiator and if you overtighten you will crack them. Then you will have coolant in your oil, and that is not good.

I could go on all day about this. It was a lot of work. Let me know if you have any questions or you need help.

Good luck,
