-013 is the size. I got mine through McMaster Carr. 100 cost me about $2.50. The pn# was 9452K57 for a 100 pk of Buna N oil resistant o-rings.

may wanna buy a buncha c-clips too (for clutch). Things fly everywhere when removed. HD charges $1 each for them. Can also order thru McMaster Carr or Grainger

I have been using copper washers instead like every other oil drain plug I have come across. I don't trust the o-rings.

Ever wonder why they use o-rings on scuba tanks (3000 psi),
where the valve screws into the tank and where the Regulator connects to the valve. instead of copper washers??

Ok, I'll ask, why? Expansion during temperature change?

(Commonly you'd just answer your own question in the same reply)

Probably not for the same reason they use copper washers on accumulator charging harnesses (3000 psi Nitrogen)

What type of O ring do they use? Buna-N? Silicon? Nylon?
