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.
