Do we have a crush washer on our drain plug???
HELP!!!
I'm used to changin the oil on my Hondas, not the Vette. All the Hondas have a crush washer that goes in between the oil pan and drain plug.
Just took the drain plug out and there's NO CRUSH WASHER!!!
Somebody set me at ease and tell me there is none.

There is no crush washer but there is an O-ring, you may get lucky if you don't change it but I always change them now that I've had one leak after an oil change

(cheap insurance against a potential leak)They're made of a soft rubber-like material; I bought a dozen or so from the local Chevy stealership for like a buck a piece or something like that.
EDIT: The P/N for the OIL DRAIN PLUG SEAL is: 3536966 (I have an 04 Z but I would "assume" that this same seal would be applicable for all LS1/LS6's?
)
