jackso11 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 It just occured to me that there was no washer on my sump plug when I drained it and oil changed at the weekend. Is the washer essential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 You sure you didnt drop in the oil by accident when you drained it. Thats a favourite that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 they can also stick to the sump........so it may well still be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 will have to check if it was stuck to the sump. If there isn't one there, is one 100% needed? Just thinking it might be hard to get it out, put a washer on and get it back in again...without getting covered in oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It wouldnt be there if it wasnt needed.... Its a crush washer and forms a seal. Whenever I get a filter from Toyota they always include one in the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) They sell them on ebay for £1.49. Its just getting it on that I am not looking forward too. Edited October 1, 2009 by jackso11 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Have some oil ready to top it up with when finished. It will fly out at an alarming rate. Ha ha :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
