That would work. While laying on one's back, remove the drain plug and quickly dam the flowing oil with your thumb and hold it there. Now, remove the crush-washer from the drain plug (with one hand) and then replace the crush-washer with a new one, being mindful of the orientation.

Now the tricky part:

Remove your thumb and quickly -- I mean VERY quickly -- replace the drain plug and secure it. Do not forget to torque it to the specified number of ft-lbs.

I think that peace of mind has no price. He should do this immediately.

Also, have one or two rolls of Bounty™ handy.
