Does anybody happen to have the dimensions of the sump plug washer for the 2012 OM642 V6 320CDi engine?

Planning to service the CLS, but not sure what size the washer for the sump plug is.🤔

I was always trying to go that route , in the end I just bought a box of assorted copper washers on eBay so I’ve got a selection
 
Looks like an M14 thread : Sump Plug | Euro Car Parts / https://www.autodoc.co.uk/3rg/15942177

I get my plug washers from the main dealer , IIRC the one for the Cayenne was ÂŁ1.50 so i splashed out and bought two , good value as i managed to consume two cups of coffee , a small packet of shortbread and acquired a can of Irn Bru for the two mile journey home.

Sometimes the main dealer is the cheapest option ;)

I think ?? That some of the om642’s can have an M12 plug .
Edit…I’ve just checked my eBay , I had bookmarked a Magnetic gold plug MP01 after measuring my om642 oil drain plug and that is an M12

Last time I bought a sump washer from the MD, they managed to give me one that was completely wrong!🙄🤣

I've order a washer from ECP - 14x20x1.5mm.

Thanks, I forgot about looking on Autodoc!🙄
In the end, I found an advert for a new plug and washer and managed to get the dimensions from that.
 
I have a gold magnetic plug in the CLK and keep a couple of washers on the shelf with all the other parts I keep in stock. Autodoc boxes everywhere.
