Default Drain Plug

I agree. The drain plug gasket needs to be changed with every oil change. Usually, the new oil filter is packaged with one. If you didn't replace the filter this time, I would recommend that you start doing so every time. The filter is a paper element that is constantly exposed to heat and oil pressure and requires a special socket to remove. Be sure to replace each o-ring, also packaged with the filter, everytime to avoid any other leaks. Good luck.
