Unlike many oil filters, Acura Genuine Oil Filters are designed specifically for Acura vehicles, to provide maximum protection and improved engine life.  Our technicians replace the CRUSH WASHER.  The crush washer is a gasket that fits between your oil pan and the drain plug.  It is only supposed to be used one time, and should be discarded during each oil change and replaced with a new one.  When a new washer is installed and the drain plug is tightened, this washer "crushes" to form a very tight seal, this prevents motor oil leaks without over-stressing the oil pan threads.  Oil changers who are not aware of its importance may think it's OK to re-use this washer.  Since it has already been crushed, it will not collapse any further.  As a result, the installer may over-tighten the drain plug to get a tight fit.  This can eventually lead to stripped threads in oil pan, which is a very expensive repair.  Acura uses an aluminum crush washer.  Some oil changers might mistakenly use a plastic one, which is not effective.
