✓Direct replacement for VW/Audi/Porsche OEM N0138157 (0N-138-157). Cross-references with N0160276, V103328, Victor Reinz 408300330, and aftermarket numbers 921-131 and 18001000. Dimensions: 14mm / 0.55in ID, 20mm / 0.79in OD, 2.3mm / 0.09in thickness. 15-pack value — enough for 15 oil changes, over 5 years of maintenance.
✓Important: this is the metal drain plug crush washer (N0138157) for vehicles with a traditional threaded 19mm hex drain plug. If your VW or Audi has a quarter-turn plastic drain plug (newer 2015+ TSI engines), you need the 06L103801 O-ring instead. Always verify which type of drain plug your vehicle uses before ordering.
✓Manufactured from high-purity aluminum for excellent flexibility, corrosion resistance, and sealing performance. Aluminum crush washers deform under torque to fill microscopic surface imperfections between the drain plug and oil pan, creating a tight, leak-free barrier. Compatible with VW/Audi-specified 502.00 and 504.00 engine oils. Torque to VW specification of 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs) — do not overtighten.
✓Crush washers are single-use components — VW and Audi recommend replacing the gasket at every oil change. Reusing an old crush washer is one of the most common causes of oil drips and leaks after service. A fresh washer ensures a proper seal every time, keeping your garage floor and driveway clean.
✓Compatible with Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, R8, S3, S4, S5, SQ5, RS4, RS5, TT, TTS, TTRS, Allroad; Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Golf R, Jetta, Passat, CC, EOS, Beetle, Tiguan, Atlas, Arteon, Taos, Touareg, SportWagen; Porsche Cayenne, Macan, Panamera.
