Default Most likely it's a crush washer. They need to be replaced at every oil change to seal the drain plug
Some drain plugs have a seal built into them that never need to be replaced. My car doesn't have one so I put a new crush washer on every oil change.

Me too. Way I figure, if it doesn't leak, shouldn't be a problem. How's things Alex?

Default things are "marginal" at best. Having a kid is expensive. Starting a buisness simultaniously
is expensive, stressfull, exhausting, time consiming, and allows ZERO sleep time.

Other than that - things are just hunky dory

Default Cool. Hang in there. What business are you starting?
MD-related, Audi-related, or maybe a go-kart track?
