It's 7/8" overall diameter, with a 9/16" hole in the middle.
The OD's not really important, so an inch OD would do.
You can get nylon and other types of washers at any auto parts store.

I have some sitting right here.

There is just one filter that fits most models (15400-PLM-A02), but
there are a couple of other sizes in use, so they SHOULD ask you what it's
going on.

Nice one, Lenny Bruce. I meant don't waste too much time trying to
find the answer/research. If you know...then you know. That would be
sufficient info.

My point exactly. "I need an Accord filter"."I need a CRX filter".
9.7/10 times (oh, and they know me) if they threw a filter at you/me,
it would fit. Period. Pretty universal in the filter department by a
friggin long shot.
> there are a "couple" of other sizes in use...
yep. I noted one of the two you mentioned. A "couple'" is two.
S2000 is one. What's the other one, honestly? Curious now.
Ridgeline?
>> You can get nylon and other types of washers at any auto parts store.
Now back to sincerity: After doing the one-over plug I figgered I
stay with the alum crush as the dealer does. No difference using
nylon or similar so long as it has a crush/formable factor to it and
won't melt/deform under heat...as compared to stiff generic steel
washer?? I've never tested any other options but do remember nylon
washers on a few cars over time. Maybe the best option considering my
situation. And cheapest.
And, yes, actually...despite the sarcasm...thanks Tigger! Much
obliged yet again :-)

Probably. And an Acura version (maybe the 5-cylinder engine). I'd have to
ask my parts guy to be sure.

You can use just about any kind of washer you want. The dealer's is the
/correct/ one, but if your drain plug doesn't hold too well, it may not be
the best choice for you anymore.
I did some experimentation years ago, and found that gaskets made of nylon
or other gasketing materials held just fine with 20# of torque on the bolt.

"Tegger" is in fact derived from both Integra AND Tigger. When I thought of
the name, my daughter was very small, and Tigger was her favorite Pooh
character.
I later discovered I was far from the first to use "Tegger" as a handle.

Not quite true either.
In Clarke's original conception (as expressed in his novelization), the
spaceship Discovery had giant radiating fins attached along the long
boom, to dissipate the enormous heat from the fission engines.
But Kubrick decided that this would make the ship look like some giant
insect, and so the wings came off, leaving just the long boom.
