If I reuse the drain plug crush washer do I need to anneal it first, or can I just put it right back on?

How do you measure out 1.03 US gallons? Just put in 4 quarts and call it even?

Oh, and do I need to have a torque wrench to reinstall the drain plug?

Thanks for the help, guys.



I just reuse the washer and don't do anything with it just slap it back on and it doesn't leak.

I found that I have a little left over from 4 qts to get the correct oil level. I have a little less than 1/4 qt left in one oil bottle when done. Be sure to fill the filter before you install and smear some oil on the gasket. I used a converter and found that it figures on paper to be just over 4 qts. but in practice it's just under 4 qts. I don't know if this varies from bike to bike or year to year.

I have never in my life used a torque wrench for an oil change. just don't tighten the drain plug gorilla tight. Just good and snug so it won't come loose.
