Do you guys change your oil plug washer?

[TerryMason]

My TJ has a washer on the oil plug / bolt. I remember hearing somewhere (I'm guessing youtube) that this should be changed at every oil change. I've personally never changed my washer.

Does anyone change this, or is there a need to? I searched Amazon for a replacement oil plug washer, but didn't see anything that instilled confidence.

Replace when leaking.
Some vehicles have crush washers there and need to be changed to keep from leaking.

The only times I've ever replaced that washer was when it didn't seal correctly which is rare. I bought my 2010 JK new and it still has the factory drain plug washer.

I don't change the washer on my 2002 TJ 6 cyl. At least not yet.

I'm pretty sure that my 2005 TJ has the original.

remember when those plastic washers didn't even come on oil pan bolts?
