Re: oil filter cannister bolt

Just as a reference here is a general temperature guide for some commonly available sealing or flat washers from McMaster or MSC. I'm with O-D. I doubt the nylon washer at the top of a canister which is in an air flow would ever reach max but if you are concerned there are other options. I'd probably go with phenolic or hard fiber over the other soft washers. Packard did use those for sealing on occasion but primarily chose copper. Of course if the sealing surfaces are rough or burred none of the softer washers will last long.
