The crush washer is useless after you use it once. The purpose of it is to seal the bolt 100%, hence it being made out of soft aluminum that easily deforms and seals. Plus they're $.10 apiece. It's retarded not to replace them for the engine oil and tranny fluid.

hairybush, get that shit out of here If I was a mod you'd be warned like 50 points.
