Flimsy O-ring

[Guest WildJackal]

I drop the pan to change the oil. There is an oil line that comes into the back of the pan that you have to remove. There are two flimsy o-rings that seal the oil line connection. I managed to break one and I can't find them anywhere. Any ideas for a source?

 

Thanks

I don't know the size of the o-ring for that application, but I bet it's metric. So, I'd go down to my local auto "speed shop" (You know, where they sell carbs, intakes, exhausts, etc) and check out their fuel/oil fittings section.

 

Look for brands like XRP, Aeroquip, Earls, etc... the red/blue anodized hose fitting section.... and in there, they should have an assortment of o-rings(usually made of "viton", it's a red rubber color) that are fuel/oil resistant. I bet they'll have the correct size, or so darned close it will stretch/compress to fit.
