What is the consensus on oil drain crush washers? The ones I have are about worn out. No 'crush left to them.
Any substitutes?

by just me
My Ace Hardware has them. Any auto supply will have them. I anneal them at each oil change until they are too deformed. Then use a new one.

I tried O Rings. Even though they work the trust isn't there when it comes to holding. The rubber shifts/compresses too easily.
Elwood's reference to those on skygeek.com... Those definitely are 'special'.
I found these and they work great. Able to tighten and stay, malable enough to seal great, and affordable.

The metric washers fit OK?

That size fits perfectly.
