The old style Filter Bolt comes with an Aluminum Crush Washer and 1 O-ring at the bottom. I think it is a good idea to have both before you change your Spin-on filter.
If you can find them Copper Crush Washers last longer and seal better and 1 member said he cured a leaking one that no normal Crush Washer would stop with the one in the pic below from I think it was ACE Hardware.
NU-lip bonded aluminum washer.
