the washer should be used where the exact matching between nut and bolt is required and also the chances of vibration is frequently occurring the washer is mainly used to make a good contact between the surfaces. the friction force occurring between the washer and the plate is so large because of u0 (co efficient of friction) .
that it absorbs the vibration.
It will depend on if a lube or dry torque, type of washer used. If lock washer is used then less torque is needed to not damage the lock washer. It should be about 170 ft/lbs max dry with flat washer, if it leaves an imprint in the metal (head or washer) it is too tight. In this case use less torque or down grade. Please note that the washer side is normally the side torqued, regardless of where the washer isi.e. head or threaded side, if concerned then washer both ends.
Cotter Joint is used to transmit Axial Forces..... ie tensile force.

A washer is used to spread out the force that a bolt applies to an area. This is used in order to keep the bolt from pulling through, damaging, or causing an unwanted result - while still holding as intended.
Spring washer - is used to keep the nut from loosening due to vibration by Appling pressure between the bolt and nut to stop it from undoing
It is usually referring to a flat metal ring that is used in conjunction with a nut and bolt. It can be used to distribute force to avoid the bolt pulling through the metal or wood. It also can be used in spacing and as a crude friction easing device.
To give the bolt or nut a larger area for a better hold, especially where a thin piece of metal is connected to a thick one. The washer increases the coverage area of the nut minimizing the chance of the thinner piece tearing loose or distorting. A lock washer is used to prevent the nut from backing off from vibration.

Circlips are using to retain components in assemblies. They are perfect replacement to a nut-bolt-washer combination often used in many engineering applications. In their application they help eliminate weight by simply cutting a groove and adding the ring in replacement of the nut-bolt-washer. They are used as a permanent shoulder to hold components together such as a drive shaft. They are also used as spacers between gears such as in an automotive/truck transmission
The Maytag Bravos 5.0 Cu. Ft. IEC Capacity Washer is large and should do the trick.
Washer (the round, flat metal item used between a nut and bolt or screw to what ever its attached to). These can be found in most letal fittings, white goods like freezers and washing machines, even in furniture.
First I have heard of windshield washer fluid having an expiration date. If it looks clean and doesn't stink, I'd use it.
