HELP: Oil filter housing (no oil cooler model) gasket
Hi,
I have S500 w/ M113.960 engine (2006) @ about 70k miles. Recently, I noticed oil leaks and decided to do gaskets: valve cover, oil pan, oil filter housing, etc.
With the VIN typed in, WIS gave me this diagram, which is pretty common for M113, I believe.
The problem is mine does NOT have an oil cooler and the engine looks like this:
It looks like the housing is a chunky, single body (no gasket sits at the bottom?), which is totally different from the one in the diagram above. And obviously, the gaskets (#6 & #7) will not fit and I'm stuck here.
Can anyone help me with the correct gasket number?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much for looking it up. I think the engine is 113.961. The original post also had a screenshot from epc. Epc seems not to be correct for this version. The difference seems to be between the us and European version. The timing cover housing also have different partnumbers depending on the regional version.

You can send me your VIN number, so I can check it if you need.
Checked for several engines numbers, part number was same for all
