    They are a little different however I went to get one for transmission drain plug at the dealership and they were out so they gave me 10 oilplug washers for free and said that's what they use sometimes.

    when you need a washer for the oil or tranny drain plug cut cut one out of a cardboard oil filter box lid, if you want it to look pretty draw a pattern of it using a regular flat washer fist. just drill the hole first then cut out the outer edge. I just drill the hole, stick the bolt through it, then cut the excess off around the flange with a scissors. everytime you change oil you have an oil filter box your throwing away anyway so there is your gasket material.

    when I make these gaskets they have never fallen apart or needed replacement yet but I suppose over a few years you might need to remake it again at some point down the line. I don't think it matters but I put the ink side out and the cardboard side towards the pan.

    Yrs ago they were made from copper and lasted forever .Back on my 87 Extra Cab I had found some scrap copper flashing and made one .Had that truck 15 1/2 yrs and never had to replace it. If can find a heavy ga. pc of copper this would be your last washer you should need. ~~OBTs~~
