So several oil changes ago I lost the crush washer from my oil drain plug in my Rzr. I now know it is needed. I did the first oil change with no washer. It dripped occasionally. Next oil change I used one of the Toyota crush washers I keep as spares. That one has been worse since it drips more. So now I need to change the oil again and I dig up the correct 12mm Crush Washer Polaris part number and stop by Kevin Powell's Forsyth Motosports. Mistake...
I step in the door and dang near bust my rear on the crazy slick tile floor. My wet camo Merrell's will not grip that floor and the salesmen are laughing. They comment they have the same issue. My back still hurts from the jerking around trying to stay upright. Azzholes laughing kinda pissed me off. I proceed to look for the parts counter and they have hid it so you have to walk around the store to get there. Annoying also. So I make it to the counter and stand there 5 min when some one comes out. I give him the Polaris part number and description. He looks it up and says they have 12. He says $2 each -- I know MSRP is $1.29 but I say OK. The clerk then stays gone for 10 min and comes back and says he cant locate any. I then tell him the technicians should know where they are if they do oil changes. I tell him again "It's a copper 12mm crush washer" and he says "Oh yea I know where they are". Ten mins later (again) and he's back and says he's out. He then says he has a Kawasaki 12mm that he can sell me. I say OK. Ten more minutes pass and he comes back with a Yamaha 12mm crush washer and gives it to me no charge. I then tiptoe out hoping my shoes are dry enough not to fall.
Anyway -- I want to change my oil but the Yamaha 12mm is crazy skinny. I have now ordered some polaris 12mm washers. I definitely learned why I don't frequent dealers. I can just hang around friends to get laughed at and kill time doing nothing.
