Today I just thought before changing the oil, I wonder what everybody uses, the fibre washer or an O ring. Personally I use both so A) the sump plug isn't tight as a cats behind and B) the o ring gives it a good seal. Hasn't leaked in a year so i'm confident in my choice. What about the rest of you??

My dealer mechanic gives it to me for free for the o-ring.

What about good ol' gasket goo?

Umm, lets say this is for solids..

Benn told the Copper washer rings are better mate but i cant really back that up yet

i normaly use the o ring for magnas and i also use some pipe sealant

Umm, lets say this is for solids..

It stops the oil from leaking out....

Well if i could figure out how to edit the poll i'd put it in..

I made one out of a beer carton once............ does that count as a fibre washer??




What!!!?????............. it worked :cool:

I use a little flat piece of lead, punch a hole in it and cut it to a circle shape, works wonders as the lead will mould to any shape needed.

i was told copper, but a mech in the family said fibre is fine, i've been using fibre ones that i just got from supercheap pack of i dont knwo how many for 2 bux. as long as you use a newy each time i dont see the prob

"O" Ring and thread tape..:P

myself and a work coleage both sericed our cars on friday mines a magna, hes is a verada
mine had a o'ring and he had a fibre washer both worked just as good as ea other i say so ea to there own really

oh are u supossed to change it every service. whoops....

jks

im just doing the oil now....and im using a copper washer.....i mean i know they are all washers but is this seal "as good" as a fibre one?

Another vote for cardboard.

Just use the same one thats already there, i've never had a problem with one leaking..
