Does anyone know the Nissan part# for the copper crush washer used for the oil pan drain plug? I found them on Courtesy Nissan parts (http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...e=11026-VQ35DE); however I do not think the number they list is the Nissan part# since nothing comes up when searching on EverythingNissan.com. Thanks.

 

My drain plug is a bolt with built in washer. No need to replace.

 

11026-01m02, They just hide the factory part number.

 

Thanks. That was it. Apparently that crush washer also has applications to lots of other Nissans.

 

Has anyone replaced their oem drain plug with a magnetic one? I want to do that...

 

Yup, i have a kics magnetic one. works well.

 

Nice, that was the one that I was looking at, bought it just now, thanks.

 

no problem. First time i did the oil change on it, there were shavings on it. But it's all pretty much clean in there now.

 

If it were a space age "aluminum" magnet it would be helpful. Your crank is steel----But no wear there. Your rings are magnetic----if one breaks, your drain Magnet wont help. Your pump gears are steel-----IF one chips, it will be trapped in the filter. Everything else is Aluminum.

If it eases your mind, get it.

 

Those were from the original machine work---normal
