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.
