Oil plug Dorman vs Gold Plug

[Hogtiming]

Factory oil plug has been leaving a drip every once in a while since I did my last oil change. Monitored it but never more than a drip every few days. Time for a new oil change so looking into replacing the plug Finding lots of replacements from the Dorman 090-091 to Gold Plug AP-04.  One uses the factory o-ring type seal while the other uses an aluminum crush washer. Any recommendations or pros/cons on one vs the other? Not really interested in the Fumoto type plugs

edit:

 

missed the part about no fumoto.   i think either one you are looking at will be fine.

You might also be able to get just the seal.  At least, for my drain plug, it has a plastic ring as a seal, and I can get just the seal...

 

Google came up with this generic batch, but I can also get just the right one for my plug:

Factory plugs are not magnetic like they used to be either.  First thing I did was pick up a new magnetic drain plug from Napa, looks and performs just like OEM except it has the magnetic tip.  Not sure why or when GM stopped using magnetic plugs but it's well worth the few bucks for a replacement in my mind.

Fumoto. Whether you’re interested or not it’s simply better than the 2 you’re looking at

Good to know. I was leaning toward the Dorman plug
