John, Chuck, Larry, Marshall,
Thanks for the information, I will be ordering the several sets of the
0-rings and other stuff from Rusty in the next day or so.
The ones on the 240D were very brittle and broke off when I picked at them.

I have a 1983 240 D and a 1981 300SD. The oil filter is accessed from
the top and they have a hollow metal shaft with two o-rings on the lower
end of the shaft.
How often should these o-rings be replaced?
When they get hard and are deformed (square not round)
How do you clean out the hollow shaft? I use brake cleaner and
compressed air. Are you supposed to run a wire or cleaning brush through
this shaft to keep it clear or just rinse it out.
I used carb cleaner, but there is a spring/ball check-valve in the tube, I
think it is downflow only. I recall using the carb cleaner in the side
port(s) to flush it.
