O-Ring for oil pickup tube specs? 2002 9-5 aero 2.3t

[SolarNinja]

Good day all and thanks for reading my thread.

I am doing an overhaul to this 9-5 with 140,000 on her that my friend gave me because he couldn't get her to stop smoking. Turned out a bad BOV was overpressurizing the turbo causing all sorts of strange things in the PCV system...that and not ONE vacuum line was going to the right place. She stopped smoking (thank god) but now I want to inspect the oil sump for the dreaded "sludge".

As far as I can tell the only part that I need to have ready to do this job is the right size and the right material o-ring. I found them on Amazon for $10 plus shipping for 2 of them, but I can't help but feel that $5 per o-ring is a bit steep. I mean, obviously $10 to do this job is nothing, but I was curious to know if anyone had the specs on this o-ring, and if I would be okay ordering it from McMaster-Carr instead, I can get VERY high grade oil and temp resistant O-rings for MUCH less there. I just don't know what size to get....anyone know?

Thanks for reading!

Okay for now we are buddy lol I will help you again go there and you will find the correct part you need, when you do the sump dropping please inspect the accessories belt ( if it's not already doing ) and change it like that you have the most " critical " points are doing.
