any one that fits will work.. I have never changed mine

I have not changed mine yet either, I only have about 24k miles on it. But if you had to get one, for some reason 14mm comes to mind. You should be able to get them at any parts place.

Mine is a flat aluminum washer.
It came that way from the factory.
Seems to work - doesn't leak a drop. ???

They do have a tendency to wear out over time. If you keep using the old one, just make sure it is completely clean and free of any debris before you reinstall it.

If you want to buy new ones, go to mrcycles.com and buy from them. Whenever I buy oil filters, I get three or four filters and a few crush washers at the same time.

I eneded up using my spare crush washer for my BMW motorcycle! No leaks .

over 35K on '06 , never changed it ...

Or you can try what I've done on mine (also works with PT-6 aircraft turbine engines)
heat the washer with a blowtorch until it's cherry red, then drop it in a container of oil & let it cool.
