Got a new driveway last summer and decided to put a magnetic oil drain plug on the Kia. Guess what? - it leaked and I have several quarter-sized black spots. Never used crushed washers before and I'm blaming myself for not crushing the washer enough.
Well it's been at least a month and now the stains have set-in to the new pure white driveway. I need to turn dark brown into white again and Tide and Palmolive dish detergent just did OK, leaving slightly lighter stains.
BTW.... the copper crush washers the dealer sells seem really thick. I don't want to force that much torque on the drain bolt, to crush the copper washer. I bought thinner aluminum washers at Autozone. I also bought a package of American Grease Stick Oil Drain Plug Sealant. I like magnetic oil drain plugs and don't want to reinstall the non-magnetic OEM drain plug again. That one did not leak.
