That would be quite helpful. Perhaps?

Just in case anybody is concerned about the o-ring. During high flow conditions most of the oil will go thru the filter anyway. If the filter gets clogged enough to restrict flow, be glad you have an alternate path. GM has included oil bypass valves for years in their engine blocks for just such an occurance. If your using petrol and changing oil frequently anyway, DON"T SWEAT IT. Lots of engines in this HP range don't even have filters...

Changed the oil today. First time. The little O-ring that goes on the engine and then the filter slips over was missing. Looked at Ron Ayers and it had this part#09280-15007

O-RING D:2.4 ID

A. Is it essential to have this O-ring?
B. Can I just go to autozone and get an O-ring with a 2.4 Inside Diameter? 2.4 centimeters, I am assuming.

Item 10 is what I'm referring to.

Just barging in this topic. No advice wher to buy "O" -ring . I have a box with 200 ring for 15 $.

Back to topic:

The ring is as described D:2.4 = 2.4mm
ID:15.8= 15.5mm
So the measurements will be ( I think)

Innerdiameter 15.5 mm
Outerdiameter 20.6 mm (15.5 + 2*2.4)
Thickness 2.4 mm

And , yes, it should be there. Don't believe that Suzuki went to all this trouble machining a boss in the filterhousing just for fun.

It's like a $2 part at the stealership. I buy one every other time. Yeah I know it's a waste of money. But honestly I'd spend the $2 + or - to have it. I even buy the other gasket as well.

I figure its worth it to know I get a good seal....

You have to buy it all seperate if you go the manufacture's filter like I did.
