Ah man I just changed my oil and filter this past weekend and to my dismay I forgot to reinstall the plug with the crush washer. After some cussing I took the plug back out and had a buddy plug the hole with his finger as I put the washer on the plug and he screwed it back in. It was a little messy but we only lost about 1/3 quart during the washer install. It took about an hour and half but we were standing around and Bs'ing plus we cleaned the pollen filter. Speaking of crush washers, where can one find one of those if I happen to lose it or need to replace it? They don't come with the filters I guess.
