Sump washer

Postby pharmerben » Mon Mar 08, 2010 12:38 am

Quick question.

I was at Supercheap the other day trying to buy some copper washers. There were like 3-4 sizes so I didn't know which one to get.

Can someone plz tell me the size =D

Thanks

Go to your local dealer and buy a genuine one, to make sure you get one to the correct specs.

They cost like 30 cents

Is it worth it to get the magnetic sump plugs?I heard that a few guys have those and it helps remove some metal shavings

Most sump plugs are magnetic.

Good question is the Lancers magnetic?

No this is not a good idea. Someone just trying to make money.

When you drain the oil you need to open the hole up to allow all the build up to come out.

It only takes 30 seconds to remove the plug!

It sounds good but I've been searching forums and it seems that they leave residue oil behind b/c they're not flushed. Does anyone else use them?

I wouldnt use one of them. i would imagine that all the filings and crap would still be sitting down the bottom of the sump.

If you really want something to try and catch the metal particles you could try this:
