Default oil plug washer
Where can I get cheap oil plug washer for my tc? My dealer sells it for $1.50 each which I think is a rip off.

Thanks

you could always go to a hardware store and just get a washer that fits.

^^^Should be the same. I put the Nissan copper washers on my xB drain plug when I do my oil changes, fits like a glove!

You want copper/aluminum so it "crushes"
Use it once and toss.

The washer cost 7.50 for 10 (or .75 each) at toyota sparks but they want another 7.50 for shipping. wtf. I though they are suppose to have a reasonable shipping deal?

^proves that the dealer is just more worth it in the end. Little parts like that, it always is.
