My 200,000 mile drain plug washer is gone!

I just changed my wife 18-year-old Camry with 200,000 miles on it just change the oil. My son did the last oil change last year when I was in the hospital. He threw the drain plug washer out! He changed it with an official Toyota washer the kind that’s aluminum with blue coating on both sides.

I’m going to miss that washer.

Here’s the drain plug with the new genuine Toyota coded on both sides with blue stuff gasket. I replace it with a quick drain plug. You don’t have to use a wrench on.

I was worried it might hang too low and be hit by something. But I don’t think that’s the case. The one thing I see about it is the hole for the oil to run out is maybe 1/3 the size of the hole the original drain plug fits in. It’s going to take a long time for the oil drain.
