new sump plug washer required on oil change?
 
Morning folks.

Will i need a new sump plug washer when i do my oil change on my my93 classic? (as in is it absolutely necessary?)

if so, where do i get one?

if you buy a genuine filter it will come with it.

Go on for sale section and you will find genuine filter for sale i think its £8.40 posted and comes with a washer too.

Here you go

Being soft copper, they're designed to "crush up" and therefore be fluid-tight. I wouldn't risk reusing the old one.

Hell, they're just pennies.

any subaru dealer will sell or give you one.think i got charged a £1 witch is a lot for a washer.But for piece of mind a bargain.

I remember back in the early 90s, one for my R5 GTT was 11 or 12p lol

For piece of mind yeah, but the chances that it actually leaks is pretty slim in my opinion. I was workning on a car the other day with a shallow sump and that needed the washer replaced though, started dripping after the oil change so i put a new washer on it, the guy i work with said that setup will leak if you don't change the washer.

Thanks

I've used the same one for 4 years. No leaks or seaping what so ever. ;)
