2012 Mercedes ML350 oil plug leaking
I changed oil in my wives 2012 ML350 and now oil plug is leaking small amount. Our first MB I didn't change the plug or washer should I have done so? How many washers should it use 1 or 2. Learned my lesson will be using oil extractor from now on if I can get plug to stop leaking. Any advice how to stop leaking and prevent in the future. Thanks folks

It does not matter if it is an MB or a Honda, crush washers are one-time use parts.

OIl change
Would you change oil even (2015 ml350)if it only travelled 3000 mile in one year. Covid not much travelling.

How long ago was the last oil change? 12 months, regardless of mileage, would be my personal limit for an oil change interval.

Yes, low usage tends to allow more accumulation of moisture in the oil.
