I used the stock washer plus the 3.25 mm one and that kept the O2 sensor tip from touching the element while still leaving enough thread engagement for me to feel like the install was solid.
Got it. I missed the purpose of this post. I did not use a third washer. No CEL after 1600 miles, I guess that's all that matters.

Which O2 sensor fix did you purchase? I've seen people use both the "UNIVERSAL O2 SIMULATOR STRAIGHT CEL FIX" and the "Mini Cat O2 Sensor CEL FIX" on YouTube, unless they just mixed up the names. Thank you for your help!
