2024 oil drain crush washer

Can you use the same pre 2024 aluminum crush washers now that the oil pan is plastic??

 

The Toyota oil filter comes with a crush washer...

 

Mine bought from the dealer did not. Can you verify the pan crush washer is the same as the old one? Never dealt with a plastic oil pan before and I want to do thing right.

 

Yes you can.

 

odd, none of my cartridge filters bought over the years from Toyota/Lexus ever came withe the crush washer (blue felt washer), only o-ring for the housing/filter canister.
I usally buy online for ~$1/each, but had to get to the dealer for the last one and it was $4 for one.

 

I just changed my oil last weekend with a filter I bought at the dealership because I didn't want to wait till 10k. It was like $5 for the filter!

The filter had a washer in the box so I put it on the drain plug. I didn't really think too much about it

 

Huh? @32:40 Steel oil pan. Is he mistaken? I don't have one yet.

Interesting. The last couple times I've been to my local dealer's parts department to get a filter they just threw in the crush washer for free

 

Nice! I was expecting it costing around $1 so I was surprised at the price on the receipt. But, it is what it is = dealership things, I needed it at the moment and non-oem filters at the auto parts store was around $12 bucks anyways and I would have still needed a crush washer.

 

In the beginning he states it was a pre production model. Could be they changed it? Mine looked/sounded like plastic to me.

 

Put a magnet on it and report back please

 

yes you can, though i prefer the fiber ones

 

Pan is still metal, just has some plastic guard. Also takes the same blue aluminum crush washer they've had forever.

Before you ask, I just crawled under my truck to see.

 

The oil pan is metal...

 

So it's all been covered, but to summarize.

1. Toyota oil filters don't come with the drain plug washer, but some dealers throw it in by default.
2. Some dealers charge a lot for the drain plug washer.
3. The oil pan is still steel, not plastic.
