Drain Plug Washers

Does the final drive drain plug use the same size washer as the engine oil drain plug? Do you re use the washer several times before installing a new one? Rick

I reuse mine a few times. But I don't know if they are the same size. I think the final drive is smaller. One thing I do know for sure is that the filler caps for the final drive and engine oil are interchangeable!  :D
 
Seen this question before and I believe the consensus is that both use the same washer.  The consensus was that the washer should be replaced either every time you change oil or pick any number between 1 & infinity.  Personally, my bike came with NO washer and I bought a rubber sided SS washer at Lowes or HD (don't remember which).  No, I don't know the part number or size.  I also think an o-ring would work as well or simply fashion a gasket out of any number of materials.  :)
