I was getting ready to service the coolant on my 2013 GTS 300 and realized I don't have the little O ring that goes on the bleed screw. Curious if I can get something at a hardware store that could work? If so, anyone know the size?

Thanks!

Take the bleed screw into Napa or another quality auto parts store. They should have a bin with a whole assortment of O rings.

Or upgrade the housing and eliminate the o-ring.

Your money must come from a different place than mine. $45 + tax and shipping to take care of something a 40 cent O ring will fix.
