Default Differential Drain/Fill Plug Seal Part Number

Does anyone have the new GM part number for the aluminum sealing ring, on the differential drain and fill plugs?

The old part number was 12369215, but it has apparently been superseded by a new number, and no longer available in the parts listings.

Thanks, but I've already found that overpriced listing for the plug!

I just need the aluminum crush washers. They used to be available separately, for about 50 cents each, under the old GM part number 12369215.

Has anyone had luck in finding just the aluminum seal for the plug, without having to pay a ridiculous $9.26 for a new plug with seal?

The threaded plug doesn't go bad; it's crazy!

Try the oil drain plug/drain plug gasket display at Advance Auto parts. This rack, usually placed near the oil filters, has several varities of crush washers.
