...at each oil change? I never heard the advice to replace washer when I was young. It wasn't until I was older that I read that advice. I don't think my oil drain plug washer has ever been replaced on any car I've ever owned. It's never been a problem for me.
Why does that advice exist? Is it really a good idea?
Do mechanics replace the flat washer at each oil change? If so, why? Do flat washers wear out?
Is it an ordinary flat washer or some special type washer?
