Default Changing fluids, how many washers.

I'll be changing my fluids for the first time in a few days (oil, transmition, diff, clutch, brake). I have 2 14mm and 1 20mm crush washers.
Do I need more?
Thanks in advance for my nooby questions.

engine oil- 14mm
Trans- 14mm drain, 20 mm fill
dif- 18mm alum drain, 18mm copper fill

If the washers can be lifted off the plugs by hand, and they are not deformed, you can re-use them.

This is interesting because I just changed the diff and trans. fluid yesterday for the first time ever (since I have owned the car anyhow) The diff fill/drain plugs were huge. I want to say they took a 23mm socket.

Did they make different years different sizes?

[QUOTE=SenderGreen,Apr 1 2007, 07:36 PM]No I believe the fill/drain bolt sizes remain the same through all model years for all fluids.

Here's an example of a deformed washer - it's the one on the left .

I believe the sizes are th same for various MY's. The issue here is tat one person is giving the scket size of the plug while Billman is talking about the Inner Diameter of the hole on the washer.

No one gave any socket sizes before his post
Also, that is what I said
What Billman250 was stating was the size of the crush washers for the fill/drain bolts.

This is correct. 18mm inner diameter on both bolt's, and 23 and 24mm bolt head's.
