yeah x2. Oil cooler O-ring. honda has it for like 4 bucks.

They can change it for you too. Should only be an hours labour.

If they wanna charge more than an hour they don't know about not removing the coolant lines so you don't have to bleed etc. Tell them to just drain oil, pull filter, remove nut (forget the size already lol, 30 mm or something around there I think), pull the pedistol off the block. remove the non existant rubber o-ring, put a new one on coated with grease (just have to slip it into the grooves on the oilcooler), slide pedistol back in place. Put nut on, tighten down, put filter back on, put oil in and santa is ur daddy.
