I've just recently bought a '73 1.7 and am changing the oil. I bought a sump screen gasket set, which has an additional copper washer (the same size as the silver washer for the bolt for the plate).
Dumb question--what is the copper washer for? Is there a separate drain plug (next to the sump screen plate) that is strictly for draining oil?
Thanks! (Sorry, I'm a newbie and don't have a Haynes yet)
yes, there is a drain plug. no need to undo the sump plate to change the oil ...
