It's an 8mm bolt, roughly 3 1/8" long. I'd just buy the right bolt though, MF140241. It's like $2.

Just buy a new oem one. I believe STM carries it too, they have just about any oem part I think.

You will have to remove the oil filter housing to get that bolt out, so I would replace that gasket as well.

I checked STM's website for that bolt and they offer every other bolt you can imagine but I couldn't find that one lol. Just call them up and talk to Brian or Jeremy. They're great guys and always help me out when I call them up.
