991.1 oil change washer
Is it a terrible idea to reuse the washer? My first oil change on this car and forgot to get one. Dealers is closed. Napa doesn’t have one. I could just let it sit until tomorrow if needed.
I was too excited to start the new year fresh and send the oil off for analysis.

I've reused them before without issue.

Reuse in a pinch, I've done it without a problem. Torque to normal spec.

Reusing a crush seal is a game of chance: x% chance of leak and y% chance of damaging threads on plug or oil pan.
18 mm X 24 mm aluminum crush washer. Works for 991.1 (and Turbo) and 981.
Buy a 1/8-pound of them, now, so you have them next year and never run out again:

Flip it over and use it once more, which I have done on cars & motorcycles over the years and never had a problem.

I decided to just wait. Didn’t need the car. I’ll stop by the dealer and pick up one tomorrow. Then use the site to order several more. Thanks guys!
