Description
Oil leaks can be exceptionally aggravating, but many of them can be easily solved or prevented with simple, inexpensive parts.
One such part is the oil drain plug washer. This washer is located between the oil drain plug and the oil pan, and is used to prevent oil from dripping out of the oil drain plug hole.
Many people do not realize that this drain plug washer must be replaced at each oil change as it is designed to be crushed in between the oil pan and the drain plug to seal the gap. Since this is a crush washer, it is meant to be replaced each time the oil drain plug is removed.
Don't risk oil leaks, be sure to replace your drain plug washer at each oil change.
