get the crush washers from the stealer or auto parts store nearest you. i bought gear oil to do the diff fluids and they threw in 10, not a bad deal at all.

A thread was recently posted (this past week, if I recall) about drain plug washers and valves. Use the search feature. The discussion of that particular thread mainly dealt with opinions on replacing the washer vs. reusing and some members mentioned they were using the drain valves.

Right now I use a drain valve, it works great and you don't need to remove the skid plate to avoid covering it in oil. I do remove the drain once a year to make sure it doesn't seize up in there. Before I got the drain I never used a washer for the plug, pretty much was wrecked the first time so I didn't bother putting it in, never lost a drop of oil past the plug.
