    I have been using a few turns of folded over, about as wide as a #12 wire, teflon tape high on the treads, near the head of the bolt for years in place of crush washers and never had a leak.

    I make sure no tape is left on the threads at each change.

    Old or new washer has nothing to do with over torqueing. Op, I would save money and time and just use old ones. Never had a leak and never replaced one. Now I have replaced rubber oil drain washers

    My front differential lower drain plug is slowly leaking....good to have part no replace rather than reuse the gasket.

    I didn't use the new washers when I changed diff, transfer and transmission, but I do have a set of new ones if they start leaking

    I always buy new gaskets, if your going through the trouble obtaining fluids
    And planning, buy the gaskets. It's not a huge financial hit. I always buy 2 or 3, you'll needem again, and good to have if you screw something up

    Yeah you should change the gaskets. It's a couple bucks compared to close to $100 for the oil. Why wouldn't you? Some people on here will tell you that you need to change your engine oil every 3k but don't need to change the crush washer, makes no sense.

    I just use Teflon tape and reuse the old washer. Never had a leak. I think it makes the plugs easier to get out the next time around too.

    You can get multiple uses out of any washer If you don't over-torque it

    They are super cheap and there’s no reason not to have a box with a few on hand.
