I saw that earlier but wasn't sure of the measurements + postage is 2x the price! I'm sure there is a place that sells it in AUD (besides the honda dealers)

Is the EK1 using a M14 plug?

Those are copper. Honda uses aluminium. Like these ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-10-Honda-Acura-14mm-Drain-Plug-Crush-Washers-94109-14000-/280879648811?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4165bb502b

OP, just ask for 14mm aluminium crush washers. Repco/Bursons should have it. I bought a stack of them off ebay, should keep me running for 5 years. If you want to replace MTF, the drain plug washer is 14mm and the filler plug washer is 20mm. You can get 20mm on ebay as well.

Awesome aaronng! I like those eBay ones!

What is filler plug washer? Do they need replacing when the oil is changed? I thought it was only drain plug --> crush washer. Where does filler come into play? :confused:

For the engine oil, there is only 1 plug, the drain plug and that uses the 14mm washer.

For transmission fluid, if you have a manual gear box, then that has a filler (20mm) and a drain plug (14mm). Some DIYs fill the transmission fluid through the VSS sensor port, if you do that, then you don't have to open up the filler plug.

If you have an auto gearbox, then there is only a drain plug, which uses a 14mm washer.

For any crush washer, it is safest to replace them every time the plug is opened.
