My local dealership charges me almost a buck a piece (not to mention I have to drive all the way across town) for the differential drain and fill crush washers for my 1994 4x4 pickup. These are a hollow aluminum washer, I believe. Can I use the generic solid aluminum or solid copper washers from the auto parts store instead, and if so, which is better? I'm leaning toward the copper because it's more malleable, but I'd like to hear what anyone thinks. The transfer case and transmission use solid aluminum washers, so I'm not sure what's so special about the differentials.
Thanks for any help.
