Default SCREW ON TOP OF OIL FILTER!? HELP!

Well I got my truck yesterday... Changing the oil in it earlier and I was figuring out how to change the oil filter (the lazy way) and lost the screw on top of the metal piece that holds the oil filter on.

I am in Oklahoma and I cant find the screw anywhere at all. Will somebody go out there and take theirs off and tell me the size of the head and how long it is? Or maybe anybody knows the exact size of the screw so I can go get a replacement tomorrow?

Need help fast!

Thanks guys!

Austin

are you talking about one of the accessory ports that is on top of the filter manifold.

should be just a 1/8 NPT plug.
