I've can't remember needing to replace a sump plug in any car I've had, but I do replace the sump plug washer, on the V70 it is a flat washer made of a softer white metal, on other cars it has been a crushable copper thing. Looking at Ilmiont's picture the washer is there but I wonder if a previous mechanic has used excessive force to ensure a seal with a reused washer?

edit: I quite often buy two washers, one to fit and one for the glovebox ready for next time when I buy a filter and forget to buy a washer
