IOWASTROKER Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Are you Subaru gurus replacing the oil drain plug crush washer each time you change oil. Last change, mine started to drip. Simply more a mess than anything else. THX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Been discussed before. I use a new one every time. Cost like a buck. Some folks have never changed theirs. Some replace when they leak. I prefer the copper ones myself. BTW auto trans plug is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned like 20 Subaru's hundreds of thousands of miles and never replaced one and worked on far more. If one ever starts to leak I'll replace it.

johnceggleston Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 i think, just a wild rump roast guess, they will last a really long time if they are not over torqued. too tight will change the way they are designed to work. go figure. i have some if you need them, 10 for $10, shipped. let me know.
