Sump screen?? I have a 1991... never heard of the sump screen...

I've never used more than one crush washer for the oil drain plug

Or you mean one crush washer pertains to the nut holding the sump screen
where ever that is...

Fram is selling a set up that replaces the oil drain plug and allows you to
attach a hose to the replacement piece for the drain plug, so you can drain
you oil and not worry about the wind making you environmently unfriendly...
not sure if it fits the vanagon...
