The oil filter canister requires an 'o' ring and the drain plug uses an aluminum crush washer. Both s/b replaced when doing an oil change.

I believe that NAPA's filter cartridge comes w/ an 'O' ring, but not certain. Be sure this is the cartridge type filter and not the spin-on some people have now converted to, but you see referred to here.
