check the fluid level by first bringing the car to operating temperature, approx 5 - 10 min of drive, give or take. Once the temp is up to operating temperature, with your foot on the brake, cycle through the gears down and up, PRND32L - L23DNRP. Leave the car running and in park, you can now check the fluid level. Take the dipstick it out, wipe it, put it back in ALL the way, then take it back it out to check the level. that's what my owner's manual says more or less.
as for the crush washer, you should ideally replace it every time you change the oil (transmission or motor). you can reuse it, but for ~$1, you might as well replace it. its cheap insurance against the drain bolt leaking.
