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

[dr. d]

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.

This is not meant to start a hate campaign, but Fumoto is a great idea... it's just ridiculously overpriced. It's practically just a small ball valve.

I've looked into the economics of it and the only way it will make sense is if you change your oil every couple of weeks!

But hey, if you have a P2+k to burn, it's probably for you.

Hinde rin. Unless tanga yun gagawa ng oil changed.

It costs 2.4k.

sinong car aficionado dito, can not afford 2.4K ?
it's probably cheaper than the oil.

and the idea will probably be even more inviting, if one remembers the feeling of hot oil dripping over one's hands, gloves, wrench.
something only real DIYers will appreciate.

Never had a car na strip or seized yun plug.

Once did, long ago. No fault of hand nor tool. Car was regularly, properly maintained & enjoyed. The plug just refused to let go one PMS day. The same day a ready Fumoto went in....still on.
The casa-TLC'd, I've had a few overfill encounters....Fumoto allows effortless correction.

as my old mentor would have said,
"marami ka pang bigas na tutukain."

i never would have thought, that i would get towed, because i always parked in "safe" areas.
well, my son just called.
"na-tow away ako."
da truth!

the Lord wrote the book on curve balls.

heh heh.

It means no parking talaga doon sa "safe" spot.

Anyone here can afford that.
The question is. How willing would you go and justify to yourself you really need that?

DIY'ers are after convenience.
Us that dont DIY oil change are after convenience as well....On the lounge sipping coffee and watching.

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.

This is Philippines’ largest car forum.
How cool is that?

Makes it very easy for crazy people to pull a prank ...

Fumoto...1 step less w/o the mess. Drain, fill & drain when over filled...w/ ease. No more crush washer replacements.
