Oil Change - Toyota OEM Part Numbers

[SeanO]

Hello,Does anyone have the OEM part numbers (from Toyota) required to do an oil change?I have a 1.8L - non GT (code 8).I have the filter box from my last change - so I've listed it. But I have no idea what the part number is for the drain plug gasket.The filter:90915-YZZF2 (Toyota OEM)The drain plug crush washer / gasket:???I did some searching and I didn't turn anything up.I'm ordering a case of filters on-line from a Toyota dealer -- and wanted to get the gaskets too... but I need to confirm the number.Thanks!Sean

You obviously have an 03-08 model Vibe. I have NEVER changed the plug gasket (120,000 miles of changing my own oil) and have never suffered a leak or drip. I can't for the life of me understand why mechanics tell us that it should be replaced each time.

I am just finishing up on the first time I have changed my 2009 Vibe (1.8 liter) oil myself. I am confused on several fronts:1. I still don't have a clue what that metal retaining clip is on the side of the cannister. Obviously it is supposed to stop the cannister from somehow twisting off; it doesn't. I turned the cannister easily with my 65 mm 14 fluted oil filter wrench cap and tightened it back on all the way snug until the cannister met the metal base.2. I do not see why the black o-ring on the top thread of the cannister has to be replaced (at least not every time). Will heat degrade the rubber at some point? It seemed pointless to pull it off and roll one back on.3. I do not see the point of scraping off the drain plug washer. I have never replaced the washer on my 2003 vibe, and it has never dripped once. I did buy 5 washers when I was at Toyota purchasing the paper filter, but I see no reason why I should scrape off something that is well adhered to the oil pan.Can anyone who has changed their 2009 1.8 liter vibe's oil chime in with comments? Or comments from our resident Vibe mechanic??

Unless there is an issue with the plug there should be no reason to change it.
