Can anyone tell me what size o-ring is used on the oil drain plug? Mine is so worn that I can't get accurate measurements.

Thanks,
Keith

I don't have a dealer nearby. Don't you need two diameters to describe an O-ring?

Only if it fits in a "hole" - then you need ID (diameter of the plug itself that goes through it) and OD (diameter of the "hole" that it sits in.

PN is 11105, retail $.95, I show 137 in stock. If you need one, send me a PM and I'll drop one in the mail to ya : )
