Subject:Oil plug reusable washer?
From:Eric Caron

Hi listers,

At one time I found a thick plastic feeling washer on my oil plug.  I think it came that way after Ken Wilford changed the oil for me.  

I used that washer for years with no oil leaks.  

I have some copper crush washers but I’d like to get another one or two of those oil plug washers. 

Does anyone know of such a thing.  I remember it fit the plug perfectly and I actually had a bit more confidence in it then the copper oil plug washer. 

What are you folks using with the oil plug at oil change time?
