I dont get it,when I use the OEM sometimes they leak and the leak wont stop until you get the sweet spot on tightness,for me its a hit and miss with the OEM then again I dont have atorgue wrench or the proper foot lbs to tighten it.I dont wrench down on the thing at all ,youcan kinda feel when to stop turning the wrench.

Yes, i always buy a couple extra washers from hyundai when i do a oil change, .I just used my last one yesterday,.So i then put that blue plastic washer on and no leaks at all. Maybe on the next oil change i will use a hyundai washer since i have a new plug.
