The sump plug washer creates a seal between the sump plug and the oil pan to prevent engine oil from leaking out. It compresses when the plug is tightened, filling any small imperfections on both surfaces.
It is strongly recommended to use a new washer every time the sump plug is removed. Used washers can become work-hardened, flattened, or deformed, reducing their sealing capability and increasing the risk of leaks.
Solid copper is malleable and conforms well to sealing surfaces, offering excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. It provides a reliable, long-lasting seal for sump plugs.
Consult your vehicle's service manual for the exact specification of the sump plug washer. You can also measure the old washer or the dimensions of the sump plug itself (inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness).
Yes, copper is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures commonly found in engine oil systems, making these washers suitable for this application.
It means the washer's primary function is to create a seal directly between the sump plug and the flat surface of the oil pan it screws into, ensuring no oil escapes past the plug itself.
The set includes: 30pc 6x10x1mm, 25pc 8x12x1mm, 20pc 10x16x1mm, 15pc 11x17x1.5mm, 10pc 12x20x1.5mm, and 10pc 16x22x1.5mm.
Ensure the correct washer size was used. Check the sump plug threads and the oil pan threads for damage. Verify the sump plug was torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. The oil pan surface where the plug seals may be damaged or warped, requiring professional repair or replacement.
Double-check the measured dimensions of your sump plug against the washer dimensions provided in the product description. Ensure you are not confusing inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness.
Refer to the quantity and size breakdown in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section to re-sort the washers. Keep the case closed when not in use to prevent mixing.
