I just need the washer, i have the filter. Where can i buy a washer for the drain plug? Hardware store? And what size?

thanks.

Check your filter box... when I purchase a Mann filter > it comes with the copper drain plug washer and a new rubber O-ring for the oil filter cap.

Actually > I reuse the copper washer over and over >> and it does not leak.

Personally > if you currently have a copper washer on the drain plug now > I wouldn't sweat it

kgl

i dont think i have one. cant see it and it drips from the plug.

My c-class uses a washer with a 12/16 inch overall diameter and a 9/16 inner diameter, or real close to that.

I would get it from the dealer. Shouldn't cost too much... (famous last words)
