I remember a guy who cut a drain plug washer with a circle cutter out of a piece of milk carton. I buy generic copper washers in the correct size.
That's a great solution. I made more than one carburetor gasket with a cereal box, scissors and a small ball peen hammer.I remember a guy who cut a drain plug washer with a circle cutter out of a piece of milk carton. I buy generic copper washers in the correct size.
Kinda depends on the car dealer though. My local Toyota dealer gets $1.63 for a drain bolt washer....I was in Oregon last fall and stopped at a dealer that sold the factory filter for only $5 (my local wanted $8) and they give the washers away free with each filter purchased. I bought six.I would measure the one you have currently installed and buy the same size.
Also, usually searching for the Honda part number will also return aftermarket options that fit that part number.
I would not waste money on dealer washers, it’s a total rip off.
NAPAI have a 2012 Honda Civic LX with the R18 engine. My first two times changing oil I reused the crush washer but I noticed a very small leak from the drain plug this last time I changed it.
Where is the best place to get the washers from that is reasonably priced and good quality?
Amazon, Rockauto, 1a Auto, etc?
I'm crushed. It's a slow Friday.Way overthinking this......
Why are the washers crashing?!Just flip those plain copper or alum washers to the other side before putting drain bolt back in. Not gonna work too well for crash washers.
There are basically two kinds - regular flat ones and crush washers like you see on spark plugs. Did I misspell it in my prior post? Yes I did.Why are the washers crashing?!
Non-crush copper washers last a VERY long time so long as you're pretty consistent with torque on the plug. I've ran original ones to about a quarter million miles before changing them for example.I have a 08 Corolla I bought new I have never changed the washer and it has never leaked.
