Depends on size of engine I believe.

Ps I got a few 'O' rings from the stealers today for the drain plug (plus filter and oil) and he asked if I wanted the copper ones or rubber.
I went for rubber. That ok?

You could always change to the hex t45 nut which is more durable and can be reused for a good few changes.

I'll be honest I can't remember what nut I've got already!
I went for rubber as that's what I thought it was when Daz did my service.

If you have a nut that is hexagonal in shape then you need to have a copper/rubber nut.
The one i referred to is a round nut with a t45 size indentation.

ill check tonight what ive got :y

So do you change the "inbuilt" rubber seal on this type of nut when doing oil change - i've never bothered

The O ring is separate from the sump plug, if it's OK, you can re-use the old one if you want, but for the cost of a new one is it worth using the old seal? ;) ;)

You mean the rubber ring that sits on the inside lip of the sump plug?

Fair enough - as mentioned before i have never changed that when doing oil changes but will try and remember next time :y

They must've been OK, or you'd have a leaky sump plug. ;) ;)

Sorry for confusion lads...
The sump plug comes off, take off old plastic ring off and replace and refit? Or are we saying there's another washer/ring to change too? :y
-
Yes no problems to date - spread over 2 omegas - approx. 9 on the old one and 3 on the new one. (It wasn't the same plug over both cars). When you tighten the plug it seals the sump long before the o ring starts to touch the bottom of the sump pan so i suppose it is only acting as a double safety measure anyway.

The thread might start to tighten, but the sump is only oil tight when the rubber O rings makes a seal between the plug & the sump. :y :y
