    Does anyone know what size that o-ring is?

    I just failed the dorman/motormite drain and i just want to change the o-ring from now on because the new drains come with a small o-ring.

    TIA

    I am trying to get this resolved so no one deals with the same problem i had. I suspect that the o-ring motormite or needa a drain is incorrect or not wide enough to use for a long time.

    My drain worked initially but took a crap several miles down the road.

    If the width is too small the oring is just going fill the groove up and there will not be enough squeeze on the o-ring.

    Call advance and have them cross reference the number you got they will give you the correct #
    There is no replacement for displacement........unless you have a supercharger or turbo
