Since you need to replace the drain plug, I highly recommend purchasing the LN billet aluminum magnetic drain plug. It is very beefy, won't strip like the factory plug and has a powerful magnet to attract any metal contained within the oil. Very comforting at change time to see if the plug attracted metal which could tip you to internal problems.

Even if the LN billet magnetic plug is beefy, you must be careful Not to over torque it, because It Will fail... guess how did I found out :-(
