Drain Plug Crush Washers for Oil Change
Guys,
Yesterday i did my oil change. Replacing the new washer for the oil drain nut.
Do you place the smaller head of the washer up against the oil pan (facing up) or vice versa.
The washer has two different sizes in diameter.

Do you really have to replace that every time you do an oil change? If so, where do you get them? What exactly is it called if I were to go out and buy one when I grab my oil and filter.

If you look at the washer one side should be rounded and one side should be flat.. the rounded side goes up against the pan.. very simple.. even if you put it the oppsite way it still should not leak.. AND YES YOU SHOULD CHANGE THAT WASHER EVER TIME YOU DO AN OIL CHANGE.. Its only a few cents.. and another thing, drain plugs DO NOT NEED TO BE SUPERMAN TIGHT. Just with a little pressure. Working on car for almost 8 years now, i see this everyday and it always causes damage to the plug(easily replaced no biggie) and the oil pan..
