  • Oil drain plug washer size

    Hi guys. What is the size nylon or copper washer to get for the oil plug so I won't over tighten? Thanks again everyone.

    Copper not nylon!.......and one that fits snugly over bolt threads.

          The crush washer from an old sparkplug will work. As long as you haven't crushed it down too many times taking the sparkplugplug in and out, it should still have a few uses left in it.

              Hang around awhile longer.......you'll catch on as to what works and what doesn't for the long term.
