i went to the dealership yesterday and picked up a oem oil filter for my b16, now this is the third time i change the oil after my swap (used fram the first 2 times) and i never seen or used a washer on the oil filter. does anyone out there seen or has heard of this before? what's it for?

 

the oil drain seal that it comes with?

 

yeah that goes on the drain plug

 

ahhh! that makes total sense. i didnt even think about that. fram doesnt provide us with that, goes to show the quality of oem parts, even as somthing small like this!

thanks

 

Crush washer for the drain plug. ALways use a new one
