Installed this valve the very first time I changed my oil. It makes it so easy. And when I buy new oil filters the guys at the auto shop give me wild looks when I tell them I don’t need the crush washer. :D

    I’ve never used a crush washer in my life. Are they really necessary? I’ve never had an issue with leaky oil?

      It’s not like all your oil will drain out if you don’t use them, but they help seal between the pan and the plug, helps stop you from over tightening the drain bolt, and makes it a little easier to get the bolt back off for the next oil change.
