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.
Just changed for the 1st time on my 93 pickup (22RE) and 99 4Runner (247K mi). Neither ever had a leak...
Not sure if the FJ has ever had it changed prior to this last oil change, but it never leaked.
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
My dealership includes it with the filter. I think I pay ~$4 for it all. (cartridge filter)
