I changed the oil recently and am curious-does it matter what the washer is made of? I have a copper washer and a fiber washer, but is there a difference?My boss uses copper washers and i also used one and it doesn't leak but is there really a difference?

The OEM oil plug washer is the same as the spark plug washer.
Since the spark plug torque is 14lbs and the oil plug is 30-something, there is still some crush room left even on the old spark plug washer.
I save my used spark plug washers and use them on the oil plug.
As far as copper vs. fiber, if it doesn't leak, it's OK! -
Almost 30 and still using my original plug and washer. No runs, no drips, no errors!
If it doesnt drip, thats the important thing.Mike Giroir
