Votex M12 12mm Aluminium Crush Washer Gasket — 20 Pack, Made in USA, 2mm Thick Leak-Resistant

VOTEX M12 aluminum crush washers are USA-made oil drain plug gaskets designed to create a dependable, leak-resistant seal for routine oil or coolant drain services.

These M12 (12 mm) crush washers are produced entirely in the United States from soft-tempered aluminum and supplied in a 20-piece pack for multiple oil changes. Their dimensions (17.70mm OD, 12.30mm ID, 2mm thickness) and soft aluminum construction let them deform against mating surfaces to block oil or coolant seepage without damaging the drain plug or housing. The pack is aimed at DIYers and pros who want consistent sealing performance and the convenience of having replacements on hand.

How do these crush washers prevent leaks?

VOTEX crush washers seal by slightly deforming under bolt torque to fill gaps between the drain plug and the mating surface. The soft-tempered aluminum yields predictable compression, creating an oil-tight contact area that resists seepage while still being easy to remove at the next service.

• Soft aluminum material conforms to irregular surfaces for a tight seal
• Exact M12 inner diameter matches common drain plug threads
• 2mm thickness offers sufficient material to crush without over-compressing
• Consistent manufacturing reduces variability between washers

Will these washers fit my vehicle’s drain plug?

The VOTEX M12 washers are sized for drain plugs with a 12 mm nominal diameter—measure your plug or consult your service manual to confirm fit. The listed outer and inner diameters provide guidance for compatibility with many passenger cars, light trucks and motorcycles that use M12 drain fittings.

• Inner diameter 12.30mm for standard M12 plugs
• Outer diameter 17.70mm to cover typical sealing surfaces
• 2mm thickness compatible with many oil pan designs
• Check OEM specs for unique or nonstandard drain housings

How durable and reliable are these USA-made washers?

Made in the USA from soft-tempered aluminum, each washer is manufactured to consistent tolerances so performance remains repeatable across multiple pieces. While crush washers are generally single-use for optimal sealing, the uniform quality of this pack helps ensure predictable results every time you replace the drain plug gasket.

• Domestic manufacturing for traceable quality control
• Soft temper prevents cutting or scoring of mating surfaces
• Pack of 20 provides spares for repeated services
• Expert technical support available from VOTEX in Wisconsin

How should I use and replace these crush washers during maintenance?

Replace the crush washer at every oil drain service for the best seal—install a new washer, torque the drain plug to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification, and avoid reusing a previously crushed washer. If you notice seepage after installation, re-torque to spec or replace the washer again to restore a reliable seal.

• Always use a new washer at each oil change for consistent sealing
• Tighten drain plug to factory torque; do not overtighten
• Inspect mating surface for damage before installing new washer
• Keep extra washers from the 20-pack for future service intervals

Who is this for: The VOTEX M12 20-pack is aimed at vehicle owners, fleet managers, and independent mechanics who want American-made, consistent-quality crush washers for routine oil or coolant drain work. It’s a practical choice for those who prefer to carry spare seals, perform regular maintenance, or want reliable replacement parts that match common M12 drain plug sizes without sourcing individual OEM pieces.
