So I lost my manual and I need to do an oil change.

Last I remember this is the oil filter I need:

Now what I forgot was the information on the crush rings.
The oil pump screen crush washer and the oil drain crush washer.

Anyone have links to the specific items?

I am in the sticks, the nearest dealership is 6 hours away so I need to order everything on the internet.

Thanks,
Nice bike man.

Yeah, it eats babies.

Couldn't you go to Ducati's website and source the part #'s from the online microfiche?

I know the prescreen washer isn't the same for all models, as it changed somewhere between my '95 900SS and my '02 MH900e.  I think the drain plug crush washer is the same for all late model two and four valvers.  What year and model?

Might be just as easy to CALL a Ducati dealer and have them send you the correct washers.  They're DIRT CHEAP....even from Ducati.  Whilst you're at it you could order a half dozen of each along with a couple sets of valve cover gaskets, so you can do your valves, and a few oil filters...then you'd be prepared for the riding season to come!  I'm just sayin'.
Never appeal to a man's "better nature."  He may not have one.  Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.  R.A. Heinlein

I ended up paying more than I should have. I decided to just call the nearest dealer and have them ship me the parts. Oil filter with crush rings and shipping = $34

That's what I was going to suggest, except that it doesn't have to be the nearest dealer.  I've ordered stuff over the phone from Ducati Seattle and from Salt Lake Motorsports.  They're both great dealers and normally have the stuff that you need in stock.  And I'm sure they could have sent you an oil filter and crush washers for less.

Now that we have a couple of decent dealers in the area, I try to buy from them, though.
