Hello again.

You can find it at your local auto parts store to save money instead of going to a Toyota dealership. The drain plug is size M12. I've attached a picture below from AutoZone auto parts of what it looks like. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

That was just a picture from an assortment pack. Any M12 drain plug gasket will work. If the gasket has ridges then put the flat side towards the oil pan. Just be sure to not overtighten the drain plug to prevent stripping. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

They all work the same. You will just be spending more money to buy one from the dealer. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
