Any ol O ring will work if its the right size.
I've been guestimating mine for years.

I bought a "kit" for a dollar, at a flea market. Different sizes.

Get thee to any auto parts store. They have O-ring kits there.

Heh...I bought a pack of 3/8" o-rings from Murray's the last time I was in there for like $2 for a half-dozen. They work fine.

Parker O-rings... you can get any size/material.

Type "parker o-ring" into yahoo to get size chart and suppliers.

"my dealer wants 3 dollars a ring! I like to replace them every time I change oil."

Daves sells them for 0.95 each.. can think shipping would cost much - maybe send him a SASE.. : )

Stupid question, but I'll be changing my oil on my XB9 for the first time tomorrow. What O ring are you talking about? I am guessing for the drain plug?

Thanks

I changed mine for the first time yesterday. It was a cinch. Now I know about the O-ring for next time.
