what is that round thing? maybe the drain plug gasket?

>>17778506
I think so

That doesn't look like much oil, so I presume you've been driving low for a while.First I would look for somewhere it could have leaked from. Then I would fill it up, start car, check for leaks, watch oil pressure. Check coolant so see if oil is in it, then after running see if your new oil gets coolant in it. If everything seems ok(fluids maintaining correct level, not intermixing, engine running ok, oil pressure ok, not overheating), I would drive it and assume that I have probably caused a shitload of wear to my engine in a small amount of time. I would also be paranoid as fuck.

I had already emptied most of the oil from the pan when I took the picture. All told there was about 8.5-9 quarts

I don't see whats going on in this pic, is it a mystery washer? Did you drop the plug's washer in there?

if it's not leaking a lot of oil and the drain plug is tight you got nothing to worry about, just replace it next oil change.

if you're stupid worried about it. clean out the catch, pull the plug and put it back on, then put the oil back in, i've done it before

Oh, I don't see a problem then.

>Boxster

i don't see anything wrong anon

what's wrong?

and are you the guy with the boxster with like 200k kilometers

>>17778494
use a shop vac and put the tube in where the oil fill cap is and create a suction on the crank case, that way you can remove the drain plug without losing any oil and reinstall.

How much is a drain plug washer?
>Less than a buck
Change it every time.

With that being said my last car never had a drain plug washer the first time I changed the oil so I didn't use one. Never leaked a drop of oil.

Keep an eye on it when you park

Its not like all of the oil is going to come out, but if you notice weeping oil around the plug or drops of oil on the ground it might be a good idea to drain the oil and put a new washer on.

I would also recommend getting this if you plan on keeping your car for more than a few years, it'll save you money by the 3rd year
