Re: [ST] RE RS sump



Did you fit a new copper washer between the plug and the drain hole?
Did the old copper washer come off with the drain plug or did it stick 
to the drain pan? You are supposed to fit a new one each time per the 
manual but some people anneal them and reuse them. Search the archives 
for how this is done. I had similar problems when I used an old copper 
washer the first time I changed my oil. Since use a new one each time I 
haven't had any problems. Don't over tighten the plug and strip the 
threads though.
