I use red fibre ones on my sump plug..
Gets replaced every time the oils changed..
Never had a problem with them.

any ideas on what size and best types to use? I'm gonna do an oil change as the matic is still leaking a oil from round there somewhere so thought I'd replace the washer also whilst there cheers |

It's just an annealed copper washer, 5/8" bore. You could use red fibre but it's not as durable. It might be coming from the shift cable connection near the plug, old autos tend to drip there a bit. |

thanks Doc I didn't get around to doing it just yet anyways - too busy elsewhere! I grabbed a multi size copper washer pack from supercheap and will have a go tomorrow. Is the shift cable plug under the gearbox there? I think I know where you mean, but I do think it is the sump plug as its the same old plug washer from bugger knows when I believe! |

Probably work hardened if it is copper, preventing it from deforming and sealing properly. Better off with a new one but if you get stuck you could anneal it. |

To anneal it, you heat it red hot on a brick with a gas torch, and then drop it edge on into water. Result = dead soft. |
