Aw man ... it looked a bit too big (bulged as I attempted laying it in the track). But it seemed to fit in after tightening.
I can't believe I'm going to fish out the OLD o-ring from the pile of oil rags and try this ... AGAIN!
bingo...we have a winner!!! for what its worth the last filters i got from z1 had the correct o rings. up until then i have used the old one about 6 times!!! ill bet thats it...steve

Re-install #4 - removed the apparently properly fitting (new) O ring. Upon inspection, it had a diagonal cut nearly clean through. It must have been a couple of millimeters too big and got pinched and cut during the first installation.
The old O ring is back in and there are no leaks with the 2 1/2 quarts of oil (all I had left).
I'll top it off tomorrow and hopefull have an end to this sordid chapter.
