By the book, yes. However, if you wipe the dirt off you can probably reuse that sucker about 50 times. (PLease realize that I'm a cheap Yankee, and if I don't need a new washer than I don't use a new washer.)


I made the mistake of being overly thrifty by doing the same thing on a diesel golf... and ended up stripping the oilpan threads. The fresh washer protects the oilpan as well as making an oiltight fit. I'd use a new one at least every few oil changes. They're pretty darn cheap.
