    That one definitely looks a little different than the ones I posted pics of earlier in this thread. Where did you buy them from?

    Ugh, Scamazon. I should know better by now. The listing and seller is gone now, shocker right? Gotta go right to the source for OEM parts these days.

    Is there not the same concern with replacing the oil pan drain bolt with a Fumoto valve that is non-magnetic?

    Can someone sum up what the Lexus part numbers are for the drain plugs? Is there a front and rear diff plug? What about the transfers case? Had dealer do this change at 30k. Want to do it myself this time. Thanks.

    are the gold plugs better than the factory plugs? Factory plugs are magnetic.

    I wrote this one down a while back. The transfer drain plug is Gold Plug IP-04, since factory plug in TC is not magnetic.

    They are stainless steel and would get rid of the 10mm Allen up front, and they have stronger magnets.

    I know the front drain plug is a different size, but I think the rear drain and fill, and the front fill are the same?
