I swear, every time I get a Toyota oil filter they give me the wrong gasket for the drain plug. Now, it is "free", but.... It's still wrong? The parts guy says the drain plug hasn't changed since 79. Well dang. You can kind of tell it doesn't fit.

 

Hard to get any idea of scale from that picture. You sure someone before you didn't strip the drain plug and tap it out to a larger size? Should be a 12x1.25.

 

yeah , they have changed ... there are 2 different sizes

90430-18244 this one is for the 17 mm plug (or maybe its 19 .. cant remember off hand ? )

90430-12011 this one is for the 14mm plug


he is giving you the latter one



.

 

I don't know where you guys get specific numbers like those but I appreciate it. I'll have to see if they have that other one.

 

My local Napa said they didn't carry a gasket for my drain plug so I just apply some ultra grey silicone every oil change. Lol

 

There is the old style plug

Then the newer smaller plug

Parts people are often wrong on the older engines
