Oil Drain Plug - Non-OEM ok?

I think mine are aluminum
55000 mile 12 oil changes zero drops of oil,
with those odds i think use the orignalwashers.

You're right. They are aluminum. Penny for your thoughts..... got copper on the brain... pfft

Not quite on topic, but in the 7 or 8 times I've changed the oil on my touring, I've never replaced the washers. I have some new ones, but so far, no leaks whatsoever. Maybe next time. It would be a pain to have to drain all the oil to replace a seeping bolt.
Hope those bolts work for you, if you go that way! Let us know!

Hi there
Hat make and grade of fully synthetic oil do you use:
10w40
10w50 or
15w50
We start riding here in the above 10 Celsius in May through low 30s in July and back into 15 September and 10 in October.
I Appreciate your input

no leaks until my local shop replaced the old copper washer with new aluminum. now i'm sad, i'll definitely be doing all my future oil changes.
