Default crush gasket size for oil screen opening

I want to order a spare crush gasket for the oil screen access for my Superior IO-360. Anybody know which size it is? I don't want to remove the cowl to measure before I order if possible.

I see the size issue is handled. Check your manual carefully and I think you will find that the specification for that is given in degrees of turn after finger-tight rather than foot pound or inches. Just a little extra hint. Order a few - you'll want to check it on each oil change.
