If any of you gentlemen are interested, I can get you a scanned copy of some MS standard o-ring charts with sizes and cross references and applications for most aviation fluids. Some orings are hard to find in the auto parts sources.

i do 30 hr oil changes and found the quick drain handy to drain the oil when you come in after a flight and want to get the oil out fast. the next day i have the option of pulling the upper and or lower for maintenance. on long extended trips out west i was able to do a quick oil change on the ramp. since fixing the quick drain i havent seen any oil on the bottom.
