$5 for two washers??? That sadly makes me feel a lot better about paying Honda San Francisco $8 for 1 bolt.

Diff is an easy DIY. I can help you do it next time if you want, Rob. Just did mine a few days ago.

Yea. That's what happens when I don't plan ahead. At least my Amsoil preferred customer purchase helped offset that cost.

Thanks for the offer. I'll be sure to hit you up if I ever plan this in advance. I seem to be stuck on getting this type of work done at the last minute. I've just been fortunate that Joey has been available on short notice.

How is it that the most anal person on this board doesn't change his washers?

Same goes for oil changes. I usually flip the washers around until it's flatten then I would replace it.. Aluminum washers last almost the life time of the engine if you don't mess with it. 150k miles on original washer and plug.. I've seen it and done it . No leaks

By not replacing it & just continuing to use it.
