![]() Basically not needed every time, but a good idea to change it now and then. I have done oil changes were a new sump washer was desperately needed, without having a new one

![]() Only if it is copper though.
![]() I have annealed the washer on my sump plug countless times with no problem. If it is an aluminium washer and you need to re-use it then just smear the last couple of threads of the bolt and top side of the washer with some Instant Gasket and you will be fine. |

![]() The answer is yes you should, as it may well drip if the old one is reused.
