#6 ALWAYS, replace the oil drain plug washer and use a torque wrench to tighten it to specifications (37 ft lbs). That flexible Permatech (sp) gasket stuff in a tube and the old washer does not work with a crap. When it leaks, it will spread a very thin brown like substance that covers the oil drain area and points forward, yes that's right, I said forward, that hide under the plastic shroud, and not a drop will get on your brand new garage floor. I thought it was some kind of under car sealant at first.

I've used my old washer for 3 oil changes now and I haven't noticed any leaks yet. Just incase I need one, where can I find a crush washer? They don't come with my OEM Porsche filters.
