I am getting ready to change my oil. Do I need a crush washer on the drain bolt? Thanks |

No, but you should have a spare O-Ring. Mine came apart both times I've changed my own oil. |

1$ or .25 cents for the oring, no biggie... People spend up to $10 on a quart of oil. |

you got ripped. Not that it's a big deal but it just bugs me when dealers charge almost 4 times list price for a part. Right off HDnet Part Number: 11105 Description: O-RING, DRAIN PLUG Available: Yes Superceded To: Part Status: Active Superceded From: Retail Price: $0.25 Min Ord Qty: |

That's ok. The dealer sold me two drain plug o-rings and two primary o-rings. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed that they were two different sizes. I couldn't stretch the "primary" o-rings over a pencil. Doh! |

Yeah, thanks Dave. Like I'm not already riding the short bus. I just never thought to look in the envelope before I left. I just assumed the parts guy would know. I am now a smarter consumer! ![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/thumbsup3.gif) |

Yeah I got ripped off, knew it when I handed over the green. Just told myself they were very special o-rings that a hardware store couldn't possibly carry... Besides only a $1 o-ring is good enough to retain the Mobil 1 V-twin I was changing to! ![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/laugher.gif) |

Yeah, I wonder why HD of Cool Springs stopped carrying Buell. Could it be that finding their butt with both hands in broad daylight was a challenge? I think so. |
