When Changing Your Oil....
#1
Ok I have a question before I put my car up and start changing the oil I went out and bought a case of the oil I need and the oil filter. Now the other cars I've changed oil on have sometimes needed what's called a crush washer to put on the filter before putting the new filter on the car. Do I need anything like that or after I drain my oil do I just put switch filters. Please let me know I'm planning on doing this this weekend. thanks

thanks guys just wanted to make sure I needed one for my pos Honda a couple months back and didn't know it until I already had my oil drained and filter taken off and unfortunately those crush washers are one time use only.

ok, I'm more of a 2nd gen guy myself, but I just happened to see this
I got one of those valves you screw in, and attach a hose (with valve actuator) to drain the oil. That way, I never have to get a new crush washer, and it's easier to change the oil. Has anyone experienced problems with these? I haven't had leaks.
