I’m going to switch over to Amsoil on my RM. Where do I get the drain plug washers and filter? I figure there’s an online source.

Bought my Wix filter online from Amazon Prime. Got the washers and the Amsoil from my Indian dealer.

The Crush washers are 12X18X1.5mm and can be obtained at most automotive stores or Industrial stores like Grainger. The Aimsoil Filter part number is EAOM103, WIX 51358, K&N 204

I used the same crush washers for my last three oil/filter changes, no leaks. I have a bag of 25 new ones that I bought about 2 years ago, soon after buying my Vintage. Can anyone tell me where the hell I put them? Thanks in advance LOL

Buy another bag of 25 and when you go to put them away in "the perfect spot to not forget where they are" you will find the other bag already there.

The top washers are what I found when I changed the oil on my Roadmaster for the time since the warranty ran out, the Indian dealership tech fitted dowty washers instead of copper crush washers, they listed the crush washers on my invoice at the time.

 

[WillyH]

I never heard of or about Dowty washers. After reading DAVO's post above I Googled (Bing'd actually) and read/learned a bit about them. Seems to me that as long as the center rubber or nitrite ring can stand up to the heat, they'd be as good or probably better at sealing than the copper crush washers.

 

[Dieseldoc]

I.have used Cummins fuel system dynaseals (dowty washers) for drain plugs for years as they are basically lifetime and don't leak.Have them on my bikes and 6.0 Ford.Believe the # for 14mm is 3918192.

Buy some more. Then you'll find them...........

 

[WillyH]

Every now and then we read about stripped threads at the oil drain locations. Could be that some guys, owners and shop employees, might over tighten the bolts to ensure that the "crush" washers get crushed/squished enough to create adequate seal. The use of Dowty washers might help stop the tendency to over tighten the drain bolts as the wrench user might not feel as much need to "crush" the damn crush washer. Just a thought....

I started reusing the oil drain washer with my 69 Triumph and BMWs, still do on my Indian. I reheat them on the gas stove and when they turn green I drop them in water to anneal them. Never had a problem with eather! Who said I was cheap?

 

[rpsibew110]

.26 cents a piece good for 25 oil changes or 125,000 miles....could share with a friend. They are .89 a piece at the dealer. Looks like the dowty washers are popular on the other side of the pond every search came up over there.

 

[Wyld_Stallyn]

.35 cents each for these ones. More like the dowty washers if anyone is more interested in them.
