I just changed my oil today. I went under the car with the washer on the bolt. I must have moved around. I put the bolt on, filled the car up with oil. When I pulled out the used oil container, there was the new copper washer. Only way to resolve it would be to drain the brand new $6.99 per qt oil I put in the car. I think it will be fine without the washer this time. Will keep an eye on the oil levels a little more closer though.
