3rd & 4th Generation (19921996 & 19972001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Where do you'll get your oil plug gasket (crush washer, etc) from? Ive looked in all the stores locally and I can only find the nylon ones and the ones with rubber and metal.
What 'flavor' do you'll use?
My car currently does not have one. It doesnt leak, but I want one there anyway. I bought the nylon ones because I have to do an oil change tomorrow.
thanks guys!

Yeah, I just got the car (step brother had it before me) and it doesnt have one..but I definitely like to use them. Not only is it GOOD insurance..but it's CHEAP insurance.

That link that Dana provided is for Part # 90430-12031 (bag of 10), that's the same item that the Toyota parts guy gave me for my '95 Camry. And yes, he gave me the bag of ten, I had just bought a couple filters and a new drain plug then asked him about crush washers, he just gave me the bag at no extra cost - I didn't realize that this was a $10 item.
For my Accord, the crush washers are $0.15 each, my my old Volvo they were $0.50 each. But even at $0.80, the price is still minimal considering you only need one every four or five months.
By the way, at the trdparts site I'm only seeing, well, trd parts. Where can I buy "normal" Toyota oil filters for $5 or so?

So those are M12 washers? Nice...I might just order them.
