Just about to do the annual oil change again, Just about to buy a new sump plug as have always just used the same one and have read somewere that it is important to change after a few oil changes, anyway here we go, here is the plug:
Sump plug

But would anyone recommend getting a washer too?

For the sake of £2 get the washer as for the oil just use the usual oil you use.

Ideally you should replace the washer on every oil change. Euro car parts only charge £1.26 and direct from the dealer they are a whopping £1.51

Better value still from the dealer is the sump plug only costing £1.27

Who said dealers were a rip off.

For less than £3 I would change both.

Get the oil from the dealer at the same time. Might as well use the recommended stuff for the engine.
