I change the oil on my '96 Volvo 3.0 on the driveway by removing the drain plug. I did not get the washers back in last fall and now I have a leak. Please tell me what type washers work best for my 3.0 Volvo. <br /><br />Thanks for the Help!

Re: drain plug washers

Head to the auto parts store and see what they have available.A crush washer usually works best.It will crush and take a perfect shape to seal but you can only use it once.Charlie

I second that, pump out the oil and head to the auto parts store and buy a hole new drain plug, with the washer. They are cheap and beats the heck out of oil dripping in your boat.
