Title: Crush Washer
Post by: mr_tim on May 13, 2004, 12:38:34 PM
Does any one know the size or an alternative source for a crush washer for the sump plug?

My local mazda dealer doesn\'t have a parts dept(!), and i\'d like to get the oil change done this weekend.

Almost forgot.

You\'ve probably changed the oil before and know this but don\'t tighten the plug too much, it\'s only a soft alloy sump and the thread won\'t take much force.

I get my washers from Knightsbridge Mazda in Stockport and they gave me the last 3 when I did the sump and diff. oil changes.
