2015 5.3 oil dipstick o-ring

[infamous9]

I recently pulled the dipstick out of my 2015 silverado, and noticed one of the o-rings looked very brittle. I moved it and it fell apart. Ive been searching for the proper o-ring for the dipstick but i can't find it. Only thing i seem to come upon is the o-ring for the base of the dipstick tube. I am sure i could buy a new dipstick that would include the o-rings, but seems unnecessary. Im sure i could go to a auto store or dealer, and they could help me out, but wanted to check the forums first. Any thoughts?

Most butyl or nitrile oring should work. Don't over think it.

Size? Or just buy a bunch to find a fit?

GM sells them separate actually for the Ecote3 5.3.  24504031 they retail for $12.11 each.  6.07mm inner diameter, with a ring diameter of 1.78mm.  For the price of those, you can get the dipstick 12643278 at $21.63 and it comes with them.

I can buy an entire oring kit for less than that, but that's just how I roll in this disposable society.
