Do I need 2 O-Rings for the drain or just one?

Thanks everyone.

Just the thin one for the drain plug. The one on the screen doesn't need to be replaced.

Don't really need to replace the one on the plug if it's in good shape, I've reused it multiple times. Got one to have as a spare just in case, but have yet to use it.

Besides ordering online, Would you know where I can find that O-Ring?
I'm from Miami.

Thanks

Some scooter parts pages list the part number, price and SIZE of the part. If 0 ring size found there you can order a small bag of them from manufacturers on line. Same automotive quality - heck of a lot cheaper.
O.S.

Where are you sourcing the filter? Your local Vespa will have it.

Or like I said probably can reuse it, worst case could match it at auto parts if needed.

I'm probably gonna order the filter from ScooterWorksUSA since theyre charging just $5 for shipping, they have the O-ring too.

I don't have an O-ring in place at the moment.
The mechanic that did my oil change removed it and did not care to even tell me.

The Vespa Dealer is at least a 35-45 minute drive from where i'm at.

This - I've never had to replace the O-ring on the plug on any of my scooters. The oil inside the sump isn't under pressure, so the nut just needs to be 'nipped up'.

Exactly! Closest to me is 2.5 hrs away. A dealer that close, you should support them so they stay in business otherwise your closest dealer may be many hours away
