I ended up just letting it cool a bit and slipping the crush washer back on. I lost about a 1.25 quarts of oil, so it wasn't a huge deal. How big of a deal is it to re-use the old crush washer for another 5,000 miles?
Thanks for all your help!
Hi,

You can typically use a crush washer twice if you reverse it, which you may have inadvertently done. If it's not leaking, then it's good to go until your next Oil Service...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
