Default damn that oil drain plug washer

dude, i could just not get that washer off of the drain plug. it was pretty impossible. so i just put another washer over it (a copper/rubber washer from autozone) and just torqued it to 28 lb ft (rather than the usual 29). should this be alright?

i'm gonna buy another oil drain plug from honda seeing as how i really can't do anything with the one i have.

When it crushes, it squeezes a little bit into the threads. Since you're gonna throw the washer away, use a pliers on the outside of the washer. 'Unscrew' the washer from the plug. It doesn't take much force to start unscrewing it.

Get a new washer from Honda, it'll probably work better than the one from AZ.
