Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I like to...although it is not absolutely necessary. Make sure you buy the extra sealing washers, I believe they are the 18x24 size. From the factory they did not come with the seal washers but I've found that they will leak after some time if you don't install a seal washer. - Casey

It's a good practice to do so but you shouldn't find much oil there. My '03 had the seals but on some cars the plugs can be hard to break loose if they didn't and haven't routinely been drained.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
