My Tourer has 167,000 miles and I finally replaced the oil drain washer at my last oil change.  It was starting to get a bit worn.  I didn't feel like driving to NAPA so I just found a washer in my parts drawer that fit.  I'm probably good till over 300K now.

I take them out of our inventory.

Change oil at the shop, so I might as well use our supplies.

Mine looks like there are three or four all crushed together on it. Doesn't leak though...

Cheaper to pick up crush washer from your local Honda car dealership. The same washers are used on both the bikes as well as the cars. My local motorcycle stealership charges $0.99 for a single crush washer. I can get the same thing at the car dealership for $0.30.
