Andrew Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Planning on changing the oil on my 93 this weekend. Do I need a new crush washer, or can I just use the same one. The reason Im asking is because on my Civic Si, it costed like 30 cents. I was on autozone's website, and they had it listed for like 10 bucks. I know its a dumb question but can somebody help?

I change all my own fluids too on my '90 and mine has never had a "crush washer" on it, just kept it tight and its never leaked. The bolt on mine kinda has a "built-in" washer on it.....not just a nut-head on it. Dont over tighten the bolt though...its not one you want to strip the threads out of! -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 OK one more question. I did the oil change yesterday, and everything went well. When I started it after everything was done, the engine knocked for a second. Is there something I could have done to prevent this and get the oil flowing sooner?

M in KC Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Nope that's normal. Your oil light ought to have illuminated for a couple of seconds until the oil pressure switch is made as well. Check for leaks and proper fill level and you should be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
