You can buy them for 19¢ at H and A .com, when you did your first oil change the washer probably fell off into the oil drain pan when you pulled the plug out, it happened to me also.

I just got off the phone (as in 5 minutes ago) with the Honda dealer. You can also use the rubber washers that every other car uses. And those are reusable. The guy at the dealer says that it will work the same as the aluminum crush washer.

EDIT... I just changed mine. The washer is re-usable, it's just a plain old aluminium washer. Just make sure you get one, and as long as you don't lose it youi should be good. I got lucky, mine stuck to the drain plug, but I bought an extra one just incase I lost it.
