undefinedI am a first time DIY.
1) I am attempting to change the coolant myself. I removed the engine coolant drain plug, which did not have a washer. When I put it back, I put a "nylon" washer on the radiator coolant drain plug and torqued to correct setting. But it has develops a small leak when the engine warms up. Do I need a washer? If so, what type?
2)Can I use a nylon washer on the oil drain plug? or must I use a copper one?
