The filter has no aluminum washer. The washer is for the drain plug. There is almost as much talk about these washers as there is about synthetic oil :) In reality, I've been using the same one I got when I bought the car new (now almost 50K miles and I usually change oil at 5K to 10K intervals). Never a leak. I don't really don't think it is that big of a deal. I usually flip mine around (if I rmember) and re-use it. I have a few of these wahsers next to my pallet of filters, but have yet to use one. Just change your oil, re-use the washer and get on with life.


Best of luck!
