Crush Washers

Hey guys

Just wondering if this is a good deal?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/30-MITSUBISHI-OIL-DRAIN-PLUG-CRUSH-WASHERS-GASKETS-/290803598064?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b53ec2f0&vxp=mtr
Or is there another car with a similar size washer that I could search for that might be cheaper?

Since its a Mitsubishi, there parts are pretty expensive compared to a Honda. You dont think Honda uses the same size do you lol

Do you have a dealer nearby? I'm pretty sure these are about 50 cents each from Mitsu themselves...

I say no.

I've been using the same gasket since 2006 and have never had a single leak. Just torque to spec.

Same here. On all cars/motorcycles that I've owned. Never had a problem.

OP if it gives you peace of mind, buy it.

There is no way even now they are up to $1 each.

I'm in with everyone else though, you really don't need to replace it every time and you definitely don't need 30 of them.

It's not a matter of not having the money. It's a matter of not needing to pay more for something than you have to.

Could have saved 10 posts by picking up the phone and calling your local dealer for a price--then you would know for sure.
