IMO, I agree with the previous point that the Porsche engineers are told what to work with (M1) and in my occupation, upper Mgt. gives us the project end dates from hell and tells us to get it done knowing it's unrealistic! LOL, all the same crap...

Thanks a ton,

Crush washers are not universal, either in ID or thickness. That said, there are many applications using the same size washers. My suggestion is to take your drain plug to the store while the oil is draining and match it up.
