if its your first time, you can turn the washer around and use the other side. but next time, just buy a new crush washer for only .19 cents from the dealership.

Yes, you can re-use the same washer many times. I don't turn it over because it gets groved on one side from the previous torque applied to it. It may not seal the same if you turn it over, but that's just me and it's been working just fine on all the plug washers on the car.
NO, do not put that plug on without a washer, it will not seal AND it might just get stuck on there so bad that the next time you want to remove it, you will have a heck of time AND you will not be able to put the proper torque on it to begin with. Generally NOT a good thing.
