Does drain plug washer is really required to replace every oil change?

It wouldn’t hurt to change it, but I’ve been reusing them for many years without any issues.

actually seeing this thread nagulat ako na pinapalitan pala yun

Nung college ako (box type) until I graduated + first few years of work (Corolla E100) ako lang nag-maintain ng car ko and never ko sya pinalitan...

Check ko nga service receipt ko next time. hehehe

re-cycling the old washer does not mean, it will leak.
but the chances of it leaking, are higher.

we used to recycle ours, too.
we used to put in a little extra oomph, to avoid leak.

I remember I only changed only a couple of times on my 99 Civic about fifteen years ago. Only because my brother-in-law who’s a certified Honda tech gave me a bunch of those washers.

Before and after that, I just reuse them. Heck, I don’t even torque wrench the plugs.

The reason of diying is not only to save money, but also peace of mind that it was done right.... by you.

How cool is that?

But you can supervise, I even bring my own tools that I buy in the US for the mechanic to used and instruct carefully. step by step what should be done at least accordinf to the service manual that I could find on the internet. That's the advantage of living in PH, labor is cheap. DIYing without doing the actual dirty works. [emoji3526]
