Need a quick answer cause i'm in the middle of doing my oil change. I cant find the oil drain bolt crush washer, and it looks like the lexus dealer who did my oil change last didnt even install one. Am i supposed to have a crush washer? or does it not need one. I've done oil changes on other cars and i've always installed a metallic crush washer.
need to know asap before it gets dark out, thanks!

nah it's just my luck that we have like 4 cars in this household and nobody is around.
I thought that i might be ok since the drain hole is raised. I thought it was the washer that was stuck to the pan, but after trying to pry it off i figured that it was the surface of the drain hole. Also i will check the container i drained it into again. But if nothing is in there then that means that the lexus dealer who did the last oil change on it didnt install a crush washer as well.
Since i'm so paranoid about it i could finish up like normal and change the filter and put new oil in. Drive my car to the autozone get the crush washer and drain the oil, put the washer in and recycle the oil (which is new anyways). Or i might just say eff it and get it installed in a couple thousand miles when i change my oil again.

Quick check, oil change not due until 800 miles. All looking good.
Snuck in a car wash even though the forecast said freezing rain!

How do you reset the light again?
1.Odometer Must be in Total trip display
2. Turn the car off
3. Hold the Odometer button down and continue to hold throught all steps to follow
4. Do NOT put your foot on the brake
5. Push the ignition button twice. Do not hold
6. Watch the display (continue to hold the Odometer button)
7. The Oil Maintenance light will reset after a few seconds
8. Finally, release the odometer button.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just recently purchased an IS350 (2011), and about to do first oil change - Looking online and in this thread, I can't seem to find any info about a gasket for the oil plug. Is it not necessary? If it is - can someone please provide the part #? I am finding mixed results with part number 90430-12031, Amazon says it fits, MyLParts says it doesnt...any help is greatly appreciated!
