EDIT 2: Apparently on M42 there is just the 1 O-ring and no bush (search button is your friend

, so I'll try and get this on over the weekend

EDIT: On the M42 are we just replacing the 1 O-Rings? My valve looks metal and not to be removed, so do I just take the O-ring off the bushing I ordered (tricky) and replace the one that is on there?

Looks like the protrusion from my oil filter housing that comes out is just stuck on there, as I recall it has the flattened O-ring that is sympotmatic of time / wear on these units. It's stuck in there pretty good! Will have to vice grip it out and replace with the new unit. Will do the recommended lube-ing of the new bush / valve to get it to fit into the Housing. There are still droplets of oil (not as bad as before) under the car, so looks like this will be another step to relieve that
