The Honda 90601-VE5-000 Drain Plug Washer (12MM) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GXV57 vertical shaft engines. As a Honda OEM part, this washer is manufactured to the exact specification Honda requires for a proper oil-tight seal at the drain plug. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure this is the correct listing for your unit.
Key Features
- OEM Sealing Integrity — genuine Honda manufacture means the washer delivers the crush and seating profile needed to seal the drain plug without weeping or seepage at the sump
- Exact 12MM Sizing — sized to match the 12MM drain plug on the GXV57 vertical shaft engine; confirm this dimension against your own plug before ordering
- Direct OEM Replacement — sourced directly from Honda, so this part installs without modification and carries the fitment confidence of an OEM catalogue listing
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates parts at production breaks, so cross-check your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct washer for your GXV57
A drain plug washer is the small sealing ring that sits between the oil drain plug and the engine sump. Its job is to compress and form a leak-free seal each time the drain plug is tightened, preventing oil from escaping past the plug threads. When this washer is worn, damaged, or omitted after an oil change, the result is a slow oil leak at the sump — a condition that can go unnoticed until oil levels drop far enough to cause engine wear. Replacing this washer at every oil change is standard maintenance practice on GXV57 vertical shaft engines.
