Hi Ryan,

You can use an o-ring or a fiber washer of the appropriate size. If o-ring,
make sure it can resist engine oil (pretty standard requirement). I think a
store like Home Depot if you have those where you live will carry both items
in their sundry aisle. Failing that try under "Seals" in the yellow pages
for an o-ring specialist shop. Take the gauge and fitting with you and let
them find the right size o-ring.
