The oil probably never completely drains out, which would explain overfilling if you put back in 4.75 qts.

I have a question, when installing the crush washer, which side does the side with the "seam" go? Does it matter?

How is that possible? I let the oil completly drain out.

According to the instructions the side with the seam goes to the oil pan.

Is it necessary to change the crush washer with every oil change?

I was going to ask a similar question.I know people say to go buy one because they're cheap.$3 per washer at Don Herring in Plano ,Texas.I believe thats what they charged me.That's not really cheap.I remember some people saying the washer came with the filter.I was wondering how long they last.I seem to think they last about two oil changes.

Does anyone have the size on that crush washer? I live pretty far from any mitsu dealerships but I have a specialty tool place that can supply me with it, I just need to know what size.

When you drain your oil, you never drain it completely. There are always (at least in my other cars) pockets that the oil pools in (like in the head surrounding the cams. When you get your cams changed (or know someone getting it changed), take a look under the valve cover. After a engine rebuild, then I'd think it will take 4.75 quarts to fill. Someone can verify this that has more knowledge on the 4G63 engines.

Normally it only takes ~4-4.5 quarts for me. I just dump in ~4 quarts, check it, then add as necessary. A little overfilling won't hurt, especially if you do a lot of high-g cornering. A lot of overfilling can blow seals.
