omg! LOL. the correct part number for filter and washer should have been 1109AY and 31340, sounds like youve been given a 16488.
EPIC!

i know its not technically correct but when i change my oil i dont change the washer for a new one, i just use the old one if it looks in good condition, never had it leak after an oil change either

the one he got from a sensor has a special name and i cant remember it but it's a soft-ish metal with a rubber inner.
where as the sump washer is copper and if you twist it hard enough its that soft you can fold it lol
Op tbh when i worked as a mechanic as long as the washer in question sealed then you had nothing to worry about
the only thing i'd check (a few days/a week down the line) is that it remains tight as that washer isn't as soft as the copper one

No need to even spill a drop. Wait until the oil is cold and slowly unscrew the drain plug. As it comes out quickly put your thumb over the hole and then pop the new plug and washer in.

edwards right, that would be the best way to do it, wait untill the oil is really thick and it will be messy but you would only loose a minimal amount if you are really set on changing it
p.s ive just noticed that the "latest forum posts" bar stars out the work Balls haha

there's nothing wrong with the washer the dealer supplied, there is no need to change it.

Mines been that washer for the past 4 services. Never leaked once.
Personally think its better, as the rubber is tight around the threads. Basically acting like a o-ring
