I was looking for oil drain plug gaskets for the xB, and I wanted to order them online.. I found these three here (which seem pretty popular among all searches on google for it).

I got three choices:

I was just wondering which one I should order and use? I know it was recommended in the oil change threads to change this, and I wanted to get the correct one..

Thanks!

 

i went too the dealer to get mine i bought all they had at the time which was around 8 of 'em

its like fiber and aluminum gasket,

i think just go for the alum/teflon gaskets

 

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking.. I went ahead and ordered ten while I was at it..

 

I bought a plastic envelope of ten (10) from my dealer:
Part No. 90430-12031 $2.36 each
They are aluminum with a black coating on each face, probalby something to help seal.

Oddly, when I did the first oil change at 400 miles, I did not see a gasket even after looking for it. I had no new one, so I replaced the plug without a gasket. I thought maybe Scion did not use gaskets, until I found them at my dealer and ordered a supply of them. I installed one when I did the next change at 2500 miles.

 

Cool.....I thought I was the only one. I was hunting for a gasket for like 5 minutes....I thought for sure it was there.

FYI - Buy a 10-pack of filters from the dealer and they throw in the gaskets for free.

 

I bought a ten-pack of filters from Sparks for $43 shipped, which is $4.30 each.
My dealer sells filters for $5.40 each but with no gaskets.
My dealer sells ten gaskets for $23.60.

If your dealer is including gaskets with 10-packs of filters, it is cheaper to get both from the dealer.

But if you have to pay for the gaskets, it is cheaper to buy filters from Sparks at http://sparkstoyota.com.

 

Yup, I just got my ten pack of filters from sparks, and ordered 10 of them alum/teflon washers for 13 bucks including shipping..

supprisingly they all came in today

 

FYI - Keep an eye out for coupons. Got a 10 pack for $29.99 with coupon form a mailer.
