Buy a new canister and filter combination from the dealer, it costs about 25 or $30 which is not much more than what the cost of a filter is at the dealer. The reason you want a new canister is because if there is an oil pressure relief valve in the canister that tends to go bad after many many years. Cheap insurance.

Thanks for all the great info. The previous owner told me the oil had just been changed but I want to make sure.
I'll probably get that kit online or next time I get near a dealer. Closest dealership is about 70 miles away 😐
