Besides the dealer does anyone know where to buy the oil drain plug crush washers.My MR has the oil temp sending wire right in the middle of the drain plug,so i can't change the drain plug every time i change the oil.I have only seen the washers sold together with the new drain plugs.

 

When you go get an oil filter from the dealer just ask for the crush washer for the drain plug. They SHOULD know what you are talking about.

You don't need to change the drain plug every oil change.....just the crush washer.

 

the crush washers are M14 size from autozone or wherever, if your not using the oem filter and cant get one there.

 

I know you dont have to change the plug every time,i have only seen plugs and washers sold together not seperatly.

 

at the dealership, they have washer by itselft..normallly, they just throw one in the oil filter box

 

They do come in packs of just washers. Just check at autozone or pepboys or somethin

 

never had to change mine, no oil leak here.

 

Stopped using them since first oil change. No problems or leaks

 

Not to smart... #1 oem filters are ALWAYS BEST. Theres no reason why you need an autozone one they just elevate the amount of oil flow and I dont know about you but a mixture of grinding and oil should be well filtered not free flow.. #2 Just ask for a crush washer at any dealership most of the time its free but some guys will charge like 2 bucks (I know for fact my father owns a mitsu. dealership) better to be safe then sorry..

 

Just go to the dealer ship they always include it with my filter.

 

I sold my DSM with the crush washer it came with - no leaks. I plan to do the same with my Evo - 36k and no leaks.

 

I usually order the filter & crush washer from works. they have the washer taped to the filter box

My dealer charged me $1.99 each for the oil drain crush washer.

I'll get some at autozone for $0.05 next time.

 

The dealership here tapes one to the top of every filter box we buy.

 

I have never changed mine either and have no problems.
