Anyone change oil on this? Looking for DIY for oil change.

I want to add that I did 1 oil change at 3500 miles (using the oil/filter from dealer). I did another oil change at 10K (using ECS kit). Kit was delivered in about 3 days, and was correct. I now have about 2500 miles on the liquimoly and it still looks clean, and hasn't burned a drop. I will probably just do 10K intervals at this point because I drive 80% highway miles.

no new crush washer...but I've re-used them before, on this car and others with no issue whatsoever. Now it leaks pretty bad. Like a 4" circle under car overnight. I tightened with adjustable wrench, snugly, but not with all my might. I've just never seen that leak. I put loads of miles on the car - and changed the oil last about 2 months ago. I didn't think re-using would have been an issue THIS time. I've re-used my rav4 gasket like 10 times.
