It is Engine Oil Change 101 that the drain plug washer is always replaced as once used it loses its compressive strength. Any person who changes oil for a living should know this or they should not be changing oil for a living.

Also, go back to the diagram from the 370Z Service Manual posted by Semtex and note the white "X" within a black circle, this means not to reuse this part and the part is to be replaced with a new part.

Seriously, what's this guy doing working at a dealership? He's not even qualified to be working at a Jiffy Lube!
