Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the great info provided here at the site and forums. I've recently completed my first oil change at 5k miles. Went with Mobile 1 syn using the oil change kit from my local dealer. I followed the DIY found on the main page and find that I have a leak.

I did 18 fpt on the oil drain plug and the oil filter but found that I had a small oil slick in the garage. I've tightened the drain plug a couple more times without the torque wrench and it's still leaking just a little bit.

One thing I did notice was that I didn't find a crush washer when I first removed the drain plug. Did they drop the use of the crush washer in 06? I'm afraid that I might strip the drain plug if I keep tighting it. I did put the crush washer on from the kit.

Help?
Thanks!!!!!
