I bought a pack of these on ebay for seven dollars only because the Toyota Service Manual says not to reuse the gasket each time the oil is changed, so far so good on the first one. These gaskets have an aluminum center about 1/16" thick with a thin layer of rubber on each side. These are 12mm ID x 21mm OD and will fit numerous different models.

I am a retired auto mechanic who still performs a lot of my own work. Easiest maintenance any owner can perform is an oil change. I use synthetic oil and premium filters and have always replaced the "crush" drain plug washer. I have used several different styles of washers: a stainless steel washer that is similar to spark plug washers, nylon washers, fiber washers and aluminum washers. These washers appear to be the aluminum style with a coating on each side that helps seal the drain plug and oil pan surfaces. I feel these are inexpensive insurance against drain plug leaks and replace the washer on every oil change.

These were real OEM Toyota gaskets for a very good price. I've had dealers try and charge me more than double what these cost. A good deal

I have been changing my own oil for a number of years now. I love my Tacoma so I follow everything to the T including changing the oil drain gasket every oil change like the dealer recommends. I am very precise and use a torque wrench every time. In the past I was getting these washers from the dealer and worked great, to save the trip to the dealer which is 10 miles away I decided to order these from Amazon. Bad idea, I put the first one on and applier the recommended torque, the washer got destroyed. It seems to be a lot softer than what the local dealer was selling me so it compresses too much and spread out. Took the first one off and made sure the torque wrench was set correctly, tried a second washer but it did the same thing.
