Oil change question
Quick question. I have most of the materials needed for my oil change but don't have the washer for the oil filter. Do I need to use it or should I pick some up?
Just need a quick answer please.

It is not 100% necessary, but it's good to replace. You can get away with it for one change, but pick them up in the future.

um. yes. you do need one and um. yes you should change it every oil change.
crush washer is just that... crushed... when you tighten the drain plug this keeps oil from leaking out reuse them.. chances are they'll leak for $.60? $.70? heck... it's worth changing out isnt it? Jamie www.subiegal.com |

You really should replace the crush washer, it's highly recommended with every oil change. Although it's possible that you'll get away with it, don't bet on it. Besides, it's not like it's uberly expensive, just get a couple of them at your nearest dealership.

Many places that sell the OEM filter include the crush washer. It's not a heavy priced item that cost an arm or a leg. You can walk around downtown for about 20 minutes and search for change to buy 2 crush washers -paK +7 |

It is hot here, so maybe I am missing something, but, seems to me that GHST said he did not have the washer for the OIL FILTER. Since everyone knows that the "washer" comes on the new filter, I guess are we assuming he/she had a brain fart and are spewing forth our wisdom on crush washers .
