So i changed my LSD oil and my Tranny Oil(i loved it, the car rides so much smooother now)...BUT...i forgot to put the washer back on the screw! Is it safe to drive without it or should i just re-do it and put the washer back on? i was thinking i put some moisture gue; cuz i dont wana have to change the oil again, but i dont want it leadking on me...what do you guys think i should do?

 

just check it a lot over the next few days and if theres no drips under it you will be fine. or get a new plug/washer for a couple bucks and switch it real fast so you dont lose a lot of oil, then just top it off.

 

If it doesn't leak you're probably ok, but the point of the crush washer is to form a "mold-able" seal that will absorb expansion and contraction of the metals and conform to small imperfections in the plug/seat that might otherwise prevent a tight seal. I personally would put one in quickly and just re-top-off the oil...It would nag at the back of my mind every time I got in the car if I didn't put the washer in.

 

Spend the $10 or $15.,- you only have to replace the oil! Much cheaper than overhauling or purchasing a new engine! Would be quite a trick to replace the plug quickly I believe.

 

yeah you guys are right. im gana go take it out real fast and top it off. but i had another Q...for my LSD i put the fluid in till it topped off and dripped out(which was like a bottle and half of redline) but for the tranny...it took 3 bottles and did not drip...did i not put enough or is that normal?

 

The transmission uses a little over 3 1/4 quarts. Your probably fine with 3 qts. in it. When I drained mine it only had 2 1/2 qts. in it from the factory.

 

i see. i bought another quart and put it in there. i also put the washer back in, now i feel alot better when driving.

 

BTW, which oil did you use in the Transmission ?

 

Redline...its the best!
