crush washer on drain plug? - Toyota Yaris Forums

2007yariz · 05-21-2011, 11:37 AM

Hello, Does the Yaris come with a crush washer on the drain plug from the factory? I did 2 oil changes so far on the Yaris, and a few on a 02 Corolla, guess what, both of them don't have a crush washer! Maybe the guy at the shop just tossed them away? Should i get one for my next oil change? Thanks.

Yes, it comes with one. You can buy them for about $.50. I always replace mine at every oil change.

Nope, No leaks on both vehicles, i just put the plug back on. I will get a drain plug crush washer soon from a dealer.

Mine doesn't have one. No leaks either.

They tend to stick to the oil pan and not stay with the plug. I always have to tap them off the bottom of the pan with a screwdriver or wrench. They are an aluminum washer sandwiched between grey paper.

should be included in oil filter if there's one on the car. mine has a rubber gasket i think. idk...it's only been 6 months since my last oil change

I changed my oil yesterday, and i saw there was a silver washer permanently attached onto the black oil pan. Right by the drain hole. Anyone else noticed it?

mine has the same thing..was worried that there was no gasket..but that must be it.

Same here. I did the first oil change on my 2012 and was searching the oil pan for the washer when it was stuck on the pan!

I just left it stuck there and put the plug back in. No leak.
