    Help, does the 350x oil drain plug supposed to have anything on it?

    I just pulled my drain plug, is there supposed to be a sealing washer or screen or anything else that comes out?
    All i got is a bare plug and oil. Is this correct? This is only my second time changing it.

    thanks for help in advance.

    I just called home (where my manuals at) and it said to check the sealing washer to make sure it is in good condion. What is this sealing washer made of? Where can i get one?
    I didnt put one last time and it didnt leak think it will be ok?

    Oil drain plug washers are usually made of a soft metal such as aluminum or copper. IMO, the manufacturer included it for more than just good looks, so yes, you should use one.

    I made a washer out of a little grommet that goes on a tarp. I just grinded the shoulder off and drilled it bigger. It is made of some soft aluminum or bronze and I think it will work fine.
