I'm not sure what the question is, but you can buy the Saab washers for about .74 cents each from the dealer. But, they never look worn and it does seem like a waste to toss it. I have some Nissans that use a crush washer and I changed them for years without changing the washers. I kept looking at the plug thinking "I should look into getting a new flat washer for that". It wasn't until I bought them at the dealer that I realized they were the crush variety. They never leaked even when reused many times.
