Thx Afternoon Bubbadozer Yes, most of the crush washers can be obtained from a GOOD local auto part store. You can look the washer sizes up on this web site http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/fiche/PartsFiche.aspx Link to comment
Bubbadozer Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Unfortunately I have struck out at auto parts, metric bike shops, and specialty fastener supply in my local area on finding any of the crush washers😬 Link to comment

If I don't abuse the crush washers then I usually get two or three uses before replacement. If you don't know the history of last use, or if they were over-tightened, then it's best to replace.

Bubbadozer Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Regarding the rush washers, do they have to be exact, or can they be for instance, 16x21 instead of 20? Link to comment

Bubbadozer Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 yea, It was the OD size I was wodering if I had some play regarding. Thx Link to comment
AnotherLee Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hello, Bubbadozer - I have had good luck with Bel Metric in Tyngsboro, MA (wherever that is). I just ordered a bunch (they're not expensive) and keep them on hand. Link to comment
Michaelr11 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If you order a Mahle OC91D oil filter, it comes as a "kit" with 5 crush washers. The OC91 filter is just the filter. This is the same as the OEM filter. Link to comment
RTCHIEF Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I gave up on those drippy crush washers. 3 or 4 wraps of plumbers tft tape. No more drips or expensive washers to track down. Link to comment
