That's terrible. Not saying it's 100% necessary, but it's there for a reason. I wish I still had the crush washer from my last oil change. It illustrates why you need to replace it. It was almost a dome shape.

Yep. I haven't changed my own oil since moving into the new place (the garage floor must be kept immaculate, and I don't own it), but I've still got a dozen or two washers left over from when I did. I remember then going for way less than $.50/ea, somewhere between $.12 & $.20 each for the quantity I bought (50 or so).

JCracer723, if your local dealership is charging outrageous prices for crush washers, go to another dealership. There's at least three dealers on the web who sell OEM parts, at least one of them has to be able to ship some to you for a reasonable price.

It doesn't matter if it's in tact or not. To seal properly, it's supposed to squish between the bolt head and the oil-pan. It's not gonna squish when you reinstall an old one...

PS: The size of the washer is 14mm and cost $.20 each at HondaPartsDeals.com (part#94109-14000).

at my dealership they usually hand us a box of 30 filters and a bag ot 50 washers...a few weeks ago i guess they were short on washers and accused us of stealing them and selling them so they stopped giving us 30 filter n 50 washers, instead they hand them out now so it wont go missing

no they were giving out too many to the lube tech and he had them in his drain bucket and when they ran out they blamed it on everyone

seriously what are you going to do with a bunch of washers? and how muh can you possibly make selling them to people.

LOL! Thats pretty lame that your dealership did that to you. You would have to steal thousands to make any kind of money. Even then, how many washers do you think you could move in one sale. What a bunch of retards...

Evidently you can sell them to people in sixFifty_ek9's area for $.60/pop. Sell a few hundred washers and you could buy yourself a pack of bubblegum.

My car's 10 years old and has had God knows how many oil changes in that time, and still is on the OEM oilpan it shipped with from the factory. However in that time there's only been two locations that an oil change has been done: at home (performed by me), or at a dealership.

A lot of "problems" with Hondas can be traced back to someone who refuses to use torque wrenches, or sets them incorrectly, when tightening nuts & bolts. When you overtighten a bolt, you weaken it. In the case of the oil pan, repeatedly overtightening it causes the pan to strip. The problem isn't the pan. The problem is the dumbass who overtightened it time & time again until it failed.
