$43 ! Even when my Porsche dealer did my oil change they only charged me $24 and when I just bought one at the Porsche dealer parts counter they charged me $21. Did you pay $43 for just the insert? Or did you buy an insert and the housing?

$43.00 for the insert, O-ring and crush washer. Ridiculous, isn't it? I'll be going to NAPA from here on out. It so happened that I was driving by the Porsche dealer the day before I wanted to change the oil, so I stopped there. Oh well, live and learn.

When I bought it mine came with the o-ring and crush washer but it seems they may package it differently in different zones, so your mileage may vary.

No crush washer in mine. I'm crushed!
