Hello, this was the first time changing my oil on this car, (yes i have changed oil on other cars ^_^ ), and I noticed the oil pan bolt didnt have a washer. It was last changed at the dealer so I was curious. Thanks a lot.

 

great now i read its supposed to have a copper washer... those ****ERS! man... now what should I do lol.. new m1 oil is already in there

 

leave it and next time get a crush washer, or drail the oil into a clean pan replace then pull the oil back in

 

If it's not leaking, don't worry about it. Just put a washer on next time.
If it is leaking, then take it back to the Dealer and they need to give you another oil change n/c and put a washer on.

 

I'd take it back and have them install the washer......

They can take out the plug without losing much oil, install the washer and replace the bolt without much loss at all. maybe a quart at most.

Then they'll just top her up and you're good to go.

It's probably on there. If it wasn't, I'm sure it would be leaking. It's really really thin after it's been crushed. If they changed it, it would be easier to see the copper color, however, it it's the original one from the factory, it would be painted black and hard to tell.

 

Everyone gets excited if for some reason they forget to change the copper
washer when they do an oil change. When my '92 300ZXTT was new I'd
change it every oil change....just like it needed to be changed. But after
a few years I'd still change my oil every 2K miles but didn't bother with the
washer. 125K miles and never had a leak. So now my G has 14K mile on
the clock and I still haven't bothered to change the washer.................
bottom line if it doesn't leak do bother! I still have 1/2 dozen in my parts
bin and may never use them....haha
