AK, you have converted me as well. Have shopped together all required components, including my first REAL toolset ;-), and will do this probably tomorrow.

Just a question in terms of the magnetic drain plug and the crush washer:

1) When tightening the drain plug (Exedium) using the crush washer (Nissan) - how tight do I need to screw it? Is it 1.5x after initial resistance? Several posters have mentioned things - am a little confused now...
2) Exedium drain plugs come with their own washer - do I discard that, use them both or....?

Pic is attached showing Exedium drain plug with washer versus Nissan crush washer.



Thanks very much.

EDIT: It's all done. Wasn't too hard either. Thanks for the great manual you have created!
