FAQs
Are these washers reusable?
No, sump plug washers are designed for single use. They should be replaced every time the oil is changed or the sump plug is removed to ensure a proper seal.
What material are these washers made from?
These Connect sump plug washers are made from aluminum.
What are the exact dimensions of these washers?
The dimensions are 12mm inner diameter, 15mm outer diameter, and 1.5mm thickness.
How many washers are included in this set?
This set includes 10 sump plug washers.
Can I use these on any vehicle?
These washers have specific dimensions (12mm x 15mm x 1.5mm). You must check your vehicle's service manual or compare with your existing washer to ensure compatibility before use.
What is the benefit of using an aluminum washer?
Aluminum is a soft metal that deforms slightly when tightened, creating a more effective seal than harder metals. It also offers good resistance to corrosion and heat.
What happens if I don't replace the sump plug washer?
Not replacing the washer can lead to oil leaks, potentially causing low oil levels and severe engine damage.
Troubleshooting
Oil leak after installation
The sump plug may not have been tightened to the correct torque. Ensure it is tightened to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. The washer may also be damaged or incorrectly seated. Check for damage and ensure it's flat against the plug and pan.
Washer is difficult to fit onto the plug
Verify that the dimensions of the washer (12mm x 15mm x 1.5mm) are correct for your specific sump plug. Ensure there is no damage or debris on the sump plug itself that is obstructing the fit.
Washer appears crushed or deformed
This can happen if the sump plug was overtightened. Always use a torque wrench and adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended torque setting for the sump plug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is designed for single use. Before installing, ensure the sump plug and the mating surface on the oil pan are clean and free from debris. Place the Connect Sump Plug Washer onto the sump plug before reinserting it into the oil pan. Tighten the sump plug to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the washer, the sump plug, or the oil pan.
Compatibility: This washer has an inner diameter of 12mm, an outer diameter of 15mm, and a thickness of 1.5mm. Always consult your vehicle's service manual or existing washer specifications to confirm compatibility before use. This size is common but not universal.
Care: As these are single-use items, there is no ongoing care required. Dispose of the old washer properly after removal. Store the new washers in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
