Polo08816 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Since my car is wicked strong, there's no place for something that "crushes" on it. I use high-strength steel washers and then use an 8 foot extension to tighten the drain plug up right. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polatinte Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Flat side against the bolt head.... But seriously man, you shouldn't even use a washer. The only way to keep your car running clean is to let it drip about a quart a day, and top it off. This is a constant well-spring of oily freshness for your car.

Rene Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 i never pull the drain plug. its been in since i bought it new. i just siphon the oil .. Same for me. Every oil change made with a Pela pump since 2002 on my previous VW's. Will go that way with my new Legacy. Only messy thing is the oil filter.
