Default o-rings

Looking for a source and part # to buy packs of 10-? drain plug o-rings for an 2010 Ultra Limited. The same o-ring fits the engine, primary and transmission.

I use the H-D O rings.

they are cheap, they are formulated to resist heat and petroleum products

I get many uses out of them, by tightening to the low end of the range, so as to not distort/crush them.


Some riders use the O rings that fit ( H-D like Home Depot)- I have seen rubber break down if it is not resist to petroleum. That's why I use the H-D.

You could check James Gaskets who supply gaskets and O rings to the V twin world if you want bulk.

Most get them here. I buy Vitron rings which are a better quality than the HD product.

Forgot the ring number though. I keep a bag of fifty in the shop and replace them on every fluid change.

Thanks. Something I have been wanting to do since I recently bought 2 cases of Amsoil. Need to stock up on O rings and filters.

I would use only HD o-rings. They are made to withstand oil/heat. I'm sure you could get them matched up at a Hydraulic shop but might be more $$$

O rings are strange things! I have spent more time than I care to think over the years looking for alternatives. Unless you know the exact size and type it is cheaper and simpler to get the correct ones from a local dealer.

If you have the means to accurately measure your O-ring, or the groove it fits into, you can match it up at McMaster Carr industrial supply online. They also have material reference guides to make sure you get the right "petroleum compatible" rubber compound.
