Default Re: I've replaced mine like twice and it has never leaked at any point. You could heat it
same here I got at least 10 oil changes out of mine before i lost it on the last one!

Default I've been using the same one for the past 9 yrs and haven't had a real issue...
I just put it back exactly how it comes off and have never had a single issue. YMMV, but that's my 2 cents on it.

I've never replaced one. I just flip them every time. It doesn't leak.

Default x3 he should have no issues using the
<i>Hansen method</i> of oil drain plug seal functional life extension.

Used in a sentence:

"He pulled a Hansen on that drain plug washer".
