Size matters (in crush washers!)

Yes, I have dutifully searched and read a few dozen posts about oil changes and found the very informative WebBikeWorld article on doing an oil change for the C650GT. In all the articles and posts there are many mentions or oil type, brands of filters, use of a screwdriver, etc. But nowhere could I find the info on what size the crush washer should be. The author of the Web Bike tutorial even says he *should* have measured the crush washer since there may be substitutes.

Anyone know the actual size or am I doomed to drive way out to a local BMW dealer? Interesting note. There are two dealers I called in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for a quote on an oil change. One in Hurst told me $335, which included the all important 'check' of my tire pressure and reset of dash messages. The other one in Plano said, $180 plus tax. Ended up ordering Motul and a K&N instead. Will give it a try once they arrive, which should be today. Since it is under 100F today, though it would be a good day to get under the scooter!

Just need that crush washer. And am I missing anything else needed? Bike now has closer to 4K on the clock.

Thanks in advance.

Broke down and just stopped at the local BMW dealer (who wanted $335 for an oil change) and paid my $4.32 for the tiny little ring of metal. the parts guy was close to telling me he could not find the right one since I did not have my VIN with me. He relented.
 
Même tarif en France !!! + ou - 300€ pour une vidange de base chez BMW !!!
Le mien a 10000 kms, je viens de faire la vidange et je n'ai pas changé la rondelle ! Pas de suintement apres environ 40 Kms

Je suis surpris que le coût soit le même en France qu'ici au Texas. Nous avons vécu à Chatou, près de Paris, pendant 18 mois il y a de nombreuses années et la plupart des choses étaient plus chères. Sauf bien sûr, le vin et le fromage !
