its a 50 p washer you might realise the spare one you got is the wrong size or damaged etc after you've already taken the plug out

Then fool you for ordering the wrong one and not checking everything before taking stuff apart, really...

Cant say in 40 years of bikes n cars I have ever replaced one, and never had one leak
must have saved a lot of 50p's lol

I've seen a few go - More on BMWs than anything else, I think.
Seen some that were compressed almost paper-thin, despite being correctly torqued from new. Those did need replacing.
Obviously YMMV, but I'd personally rather spend the 50p and have peace of mind.

Yep it expired last week, those ones I got delivered cost me a tenner each

Still if you add the 2 I managed to grab at a fiver 5 liters for £40 is still not bad.

Yeah I did not get a chance to pick up any oil yet

The GF car is now dead so money going into another car at this time lol

When that's sorted I can do some bike stuff.

Just misread that as the GF herself is dead so you're buying another car!! :eek:

Do yer oil change, then chuck her on the back of the bike and ferry her around. Nice warm hugs and she can find ways of repaying you later!
