Should the washer for drain plug be copper or aluminum instead of nylon?
I know VW used to supply copper washer (but different from Golf/Jetta's
which is wider) and later switched to aluminum one for Vanagon.   I bought
a bunch from dealer and use a new one for each oil change (just like the VW
owner manual said).
