The wife has a 2000 accord V6 and I recently changed the oil. Previously,
It was always done at the shop. The drain plug was very hard to loosen and
it did not have a plastic washer on it. All the other vehicles I have owned
had some sort of washer on the drain plug. Now, I've noticed a slight drip
from the drain plug even though it's tight. Soo....I'm wandering if there's
supposed to be a washer on the drain plug that was lost on a previous oil
change. Can anybody advise? TIA.
