Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

The oil filters are fine but the Mahle B32518 copper drain plug washers do not fit a 2004 Crossfire. They are too small. I checked the oil drain plug washer for a 2004 Mercedes Benz SLK 320 since the Chrysler Crossfire and Mercedes Benz SLK 320 are the same car mechanically. RockAuto shows the Dorman 65399 drain plug washer for the MB SLK 320. I have ordered the Dorman 65399 from RockAuto today hoping that it is the correct drain plug washer for my Crossfire. Someone at RockAuto needs to review these two drain plug washers and remove the Mehle B32518 drain plug washer from the Chrysler Crossfire listings. It is too small and will not fit. To complete my oil and filter change I re-used the old drain plug washer. When I receive the Dorman 65399 drain plug washer that I ordered from RockAuto I will let the Forum know if the Dorman 65399 fits our Crossfires. My suggestion to anyone who will be changing the oil and filter in their Crossfire is not to order the Mahle B32518 listed on the RockAuto website as the drain plug washer for our Crossfires. It is too small and will not fit.
The inside diameter is 14.3 mm (.563') with an outside diameter of 19.8 mm (.780") by1.4 mm (.055") thick.
