Unscrewed both the drain and fill plug today but noticed no gasket or crush washer. Is there supposed to be one? I could not find any parts numbers at Pelican or elsewhere. I also read that one could use the oil drain plug washer?

The drain plug was a 10mm hex btw.

Not sure if it's year dependent but there are no washers on both my '02 and '03.

Did mine a couple of weeks ago. '00 C4 ME, and fill plug has no crush washer like the drain plug has.

Same here on my '99 a few weeks ago. I used a new washer.

Pelican lists a washer but I did not order one. Just used the same fill and drain plugs and tightened until they won't tighten anymore. No leaks.

When I did front diff and tranny there was a washer. May have been put there by previous mechanic. Seems like it took one similar to oil drain plug.

I guess tightening it to proper torque (20 ft-lb.) would be the right thing to do. Over torquing the plug could induce stresses in the casing that could cause damage later on. Also, plug seemed like a harder material, so the internal threads of the casing could start yielding if you go over the limit.
