Default Good place to get oil drain plug crush washers? '09 KLX250s

Kawi seems a bit steep at over $4 each. Anyone have good source for the correct size crush washers?

Most auto parts stores have quite a selection of washers/gaskets and even gasketed washers.
Take the drain plug with you to find a match.

The problem with that is that the stores around here won't sell several of the ones I need. They package them with a bunch of different sizes--most of which I don't need at all..

Unless it is damaged, i'd just reuse it. They last for many oil changes unless damaged. Or you can buy a ton of them on fleabay for almost nothing.

Washers work harden and stop sealing up. You need to re anneal them.


Grab a pair of pliers and find a gas flame. Heat to dark cherry red and let cool. Re annealed and now nice and soft. re use over and over....
