the drain plug washer is a little hoop that fits around the drain plug to help with sealing up the sump.

the oil filter is fine, but you ought to be able to find the right viscosity of oil, although considering where you live (Cyprus) and the climate there (very warm year 'round) 10w-30 is probably not going to kill your engine.
