Folks, I have a 2001 V70 T5 and I want to do my first oil change soon (35K miles on car, picked it up used...). I have heard reports that the stock copper washer for the oil drain plug needs to be changed with every oil change and is a bit hard and helps to strip the pan threads eventually. Is this true? I have also heard that there is an Aluminum crush washer that is much better to use. Does anyone have a source (internet store/shop) for these and what would be the part number, cost? Regards, Chris in CA
