Oil Drain Plug - Washer
Has anyone snipped off the original washer and used replacement washers (like the ones you can buy from Clair Parts)? I continue to have problems with the washer that comes on the drain plug. Damn thing still leaks and this one is new.

Got a digital cam. Snap a pic. Mine doesn't have a crush washer.
So I've been using the regular ones frrm clairs with no problems. If I could see a pic of yours maybe I could tell if the ones from clairs work.

Yeah I'm sure you can reuse it, but it's cheap insurance against any leaks.

I had a silver colored permanently attached washer...
on my MY2001 S4. It started leaking after the 5k oil change. The technician removed it and now I use the standard copper drain plug washer.
