Yup got the 3mm crush washer on hand, thanks for the heads up :tiphat:

The flat side goes against the oil pan.

Do not over-tighten.

Is this the side you consider flat? It's the side I put to the pan.

Yes. Look carefully at the washer. One side is flat and the other s the part that gets crushed. Orient the washer with the flat side against the oil pan

I always considered the one on the left to be the oil pan surface and the one on the right has that little lifted cut to help grab the threads on the bolt.

Can anyone recommend a good source for these? My local dealer sucks.

Never mind, just found them on Amazon. 50 for $11.99. Cheap!

50 should last you for like 200K miles!
