Du-Rron Posted January 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Instead of using the factory crush washers, pick up some HONDA part # 94109-14000 from your local Honda CAR dealer. They charge me $0.25 each for them but I buy a bag of 50 for $12.50 so I always have some around. In the picture below you can see the fat aluminum crush washer compared to the thin factory tin washer hanging off the top of the threads of the diff drain bolt. If you tighten your drain plugs without using a torque wrench (I use one) the Honda washer will put up with more abuse and still seal well while protecting the threads of what you are trying to seal. Shown below is the washer after crush. Note the raised part where it has formed into the hole. Edited February 21, 2015 by Du-Rron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaharly Posted January 27, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2015 Seems like a good Idea. Personally I try to stick with oem stuff. Mother yammy knows best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleeye Posted January 30, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 30, 2015 Or you can go to any auto parts store where they have a box of all different sizes to pick from for very little, when you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
