Changed my oil temp sender and noticed the crush washer is pretty flat. Had to tighten the sender pretty good to almost-stop an oil leak.
Does the crush washer need replacement after boing used once or twice ? Any easy sources for these from flaps ? |

My local Porsche dealer said the oil drain plug sealing ring was NLA. The parts guy looked up the washer based on the size (12x18) and I used one from an Audi. It was made of aluminum. I've never seen a crush washer on an oil drain plug for any vehicle I've owned. They're usually aluminum or bronze flat washers.
The washers for the two screws holding the oil temp sender plate are true crush washers in that they actually get crushed, appear to be made of copper. They were about 10 cents each at the dealership. |
