    It is shown in the PET as an AM 5x12 bolt with a M5.3 washer.

    That is referred to as a "Cheese Head" screw.

    I have noticed this before. What is the reason they used aluminum? I believe McMaster Carr sells the Cheese Head screw, thou no sure of sizes carried.

    I believe aluminum was used to help seal possible leaks , same with the oil level sending unit .

    That makes sense. I just haven't seen anyone mention it as a "crush" washer before. It probably should be replaced if removed I guess?
