I don't feel like driving all the way over to the Honda dealership just to get this part, as there is a NAPA and AutoZone about two blocks from the agency I work at. Do they sell something similart to what I need? Thanks.

 

Maybe... I've heard of people using a nylon washer and just reusing that....

Personally, I don't ever replace it and have never had any leaks.

 

Okay, well, I may give it a go without one, but I think I do remember having some leakage issues with my 2000 Civic EX when I didn't use one.

 

Yes Autozone carries the washers...but I agree with the above poster, I went years without ever changing the washer until recently when I needed to get a new drain plug bolt. I think I'll look at the washer every oil change and then judge if I need to replace it. I bought a pack of the metal ones so I have them on hand.

 

Well, don't put the drain plug back in without the washer on, I just keep reusing the same one.

 

Hmm, I called AUTOZONE a little while ago and they told me to call NAPA. I think I need to be more specific with them. Do you happen to have a SKU number? Product name? Anything?

 

Yeah, me too. I got a handful of them at the dealer awhile ago, so I replace them occasionally. Probably re-use the washers 5 or 6 times.

 

Yes-

All of the auto parts stores should have them. They are usually with the oil filer wrenches and in packs of 4 or 6. I got a pack of copper ones.

You will need an 11 mm washer.

Thanks for the info, John.

 

John is right....they are by the oil filter wrentches...they have them...atleast any of the Auto Zones in Utah do.
