Reuse oil?
I changed my oil the other day and noticed oil on the garage flood this morning. Got under the car and can see a drop of oil from the drain bolt. Checked it and it's tight. I'm guessing the crush washer is shot. I'm going to get a new one, but the oil only has about a hundred miles on it. Can it be reused?
