You can reuse them for years. The issue comes when the copper washer get's scared from dirt or the friction over the years. You just need to inspect it and be very clean at every oil change with the plug and pan surface. The copper washer acutally goes face up on the drain plug. Twist it on the wrong way and it will not bottom out on the plug.
