Well 32K here and still using the original. Was going to change my oil today but wondering if I should wait til I get a new gasket first. Just want to see how often everyone changes theirs..if at all...or am I crazy.

Crush washers are a one time use item. They are called crush washers because they get crushed when you tighten your plug. Thus creating a complete seal. Using a previously crushed crush washer is no different that wiping your azz with used toilet paper, you can do it, buy WHY????

They are .05 cents at our local Honda dealership. I bought thirty of them for a whopping $1.50

Change them every oil change.
