2010 Oil leak
Took my 2010 Dodge Caravan 4.0L V6 in fr an oil change. Tech found a leak at the oil filter adapter and can't locate the parts needed to repair. (W0133-21687030). I called the local Dodge dealership and they provided me with cross reference numbers 68026831AA and 4892378AA and told me the parts are no longer available. Can anyone provide me with some options, or am I to believe that my 2010 vehicle is obsolete?

4892378AA - Lots of results for this - here’s a link to the listing on rock auto.com - https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/mo...r+gasket,10649
68026831AA - Not as much success with this one, but in the few images I’ve seen, they look like standard o-rings. If you have other transportation available you could pull them out and match them up at a parts or hardware store.

I work in a research and development lab for various industrial products; in the course of my job I build a lot of strange stuff and learn things here and there outside of my normal day to day tasks. One thing I learned is that O-rings can be ordered by shape and size.

Get a decent pair of calipers and measure the various dimensions. Then go to Amazon and order the O-ring that meets the measurements or get an O-ring assortment (they are dirt cheap) and then you will have an O-ring for anything and everything.
A good machine shop could measure the O-ring for you and probably has them on hand. Ask your trusted mechanic where they send heads off to, to be pressure tested (see explanation below) and they will probably tell you what local machine shop they use.
Explanation about "heads off to be pressure tested" -- When I would blow a head gasket as I have a few times in my youth I would pull the head and take it to a machine shop where they would clean it, leak test it, and install new valve seats. No mechanic worth a damn would pull a blown head gasket and not have a machine shop test it for leaks from warping or cracking. So that's how you go about finding a machine shop.
