Drain Plug

Hey, I was changing my oil, my dad was helping out, well, my dad accidently threw the drain plug away with the oil. I was wondering if Pep Boys or O'Reilly's would have it?

I went to Auto Zone, but WOW those guys are idiots, they gave me the wrong size, I looked at the girl behind the counter and I told her, that's too big, she was all stupid and confused, but yeah, anyone know how hard it'll be to find? If worse comes to worse, could I get the drain plug from the Mazda dealership?

PepBoys or Autozone. Got mine for like $4. It didn't come with a metal crush gasket though. It came with a teflon one?!?!

I guess it is Teflon ftw.

Any of you have one of those drain valves for quick and easy oil changes? I'm thinking about grabbing one.

And where does one get one of the gaskets for the plug. Mine is shot and I leak a bit because of it.

It takes about 5 seconds to take the plug off. If they're cheap I might get one... but I'm not that worried.
