Hi all;

Bought a 2003 996 TT last fall; finally bringing it out of storage. Spring start up delayed by COVID.

Anyway, I heard its easy to change oil and air filter on these so thought it would be my weekend job. Saw all the guides and videos here, and looks easy enough.
I am in the GTA, and was doing to get the oil/filter from germanparts.ca

What I cant find are the crush seals/washers for the drain - from the descriptions I have seen on here for things needed - they are:
Aluminum crush seals for the turbo drains are 18x22
Aluminum crush seal for the crankcase is 22x27
Copper crush seal for the reservoir is 20x26

I was surprised that germanparts didnt sell them, I even called. Also tried Canadian Tire. Maybe I am asking for the wrong things? Can someone point me in the right direction? Dealer?

Also, was going to order Motul 5W40 X-cess - and the filters etc from germanparts. Open to other suggestions

Thanks in advance.

I bought mine form Pelican but order like a half dozen or so with filters each time.
If your stuck, you can always just run to the dealer to buy one. They're like a buck each.

I assume any aluminum or copper crush washer would work correct? As long as it's the same size of course... I've purchased a bulk pack on Amazon of various washer sizes and have used these on all my other cars without problems.

I would just grab the old one, go to Canadian Tire, NAPA or Part Source and match it up with what they have. If that doesn't work, take the old one to your local oil change shop and ask them to sell you a couple.

Or just use it again .....

Yep, I would just anneal them with a torch, light sand with 400 grit and they are good to use again.

Pretty sure I have a few 22x27 crush rings lying around since I now have a drain valve on my sump and don't use them. Pm me if you want one.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Im going to try the local Napa or autozone places. If not will likely get from the dealer this time and order from Pelican for next time. Surprised places like germanparts didnt have them.

Appreciate all the help!

If you're going to order from Pelican Parts, make sure you aren't just ordering the washers because the shipping alone will cost a lot more than a few washers haha

I always use the washers to make sure I get just above the free shipping $$ limit on my orders - I have a few around if you want one :-)

I just got them from German parts. Quick shipping too. Got them next day

Free shipping to Canada?

Yes, germanparts for the drain plug washer but there are two turbo oil drain plugs that need to be drained and the washers replaced. They do not have those.
Thanks

I don't bother draining my turbo's. Not much oil in there.

unfortunately not, to a office in the US, I (used) to be down there every couple of weeks on business...
