Does anyone make a drain plug with a rubber seal? Those crush washers are a turd.
Hyundai oil drain plug?

Might be able to find a fitting rubber drain plug gasket to fit the existing Hyundai drain plug.
Yeah know what you mean about the Hyundai aluminum crush gasket. I been using them myself and so far no leaks.

Do yourself a favor and get a Fumoto valve.
I think the Duramax diesel used wherever has the same thread size/pitch as Hyundai and has a built in, reusable rubber seal.

There's your problem. I mean poor quality control. To make those work, you have to freeze them hard and keep them frozen by working fast. Freeze hard, slice thin, drill hole, place on plug and tighten. All before they thaw. My trouble generally comes when the wife walks in to the kitchen while I am using the slicer. At that point, a leaky plug is the least of my troubles.

Just took a look at the website. Super idea. Sure beats slicing turds!

Get a fumoto, you'll never look back. Had them on all my vehicles, top shelf kit.
Only one I know is the Ford Mondeo Tdci. But I think some of the petrol engined Fords of around 2002/2008 used the same sump plug.
Don't own the car anymore so can't help with part number or specs.
I also add a vote for the Fumoto valve.
Neve had an issue with a crush washer, reused them many times by turning them round and no leaks so far.

I'm saddened to say that it took me a time or two of reading that before it sunk in... LOL!
To the OP, I'm not sure why you're having issues? Never before have I had them? If you're bent on using a rubber type plug, try one for a Chrysler minivan 3.3/3.8 V6. They have a large diameter head and a captured, replaceable o-ring and use the same threads.
EDIT: Here is what I'm referring to: NAPA

My Sonata is the only vehicle I've had where it will leak if I don't replace the aluminum gasket every time. I also have to torque it to the upper end of the torque range. If you torque on the lower end, it won't deform the washer enough to seal.

I've owned several Hyundai's and never had an issue with the drain plug gaskets. I've also never had to freeze anything to get them on or off. If I forget to get one I just flip them around for reuse.

Picked up a 14mm1.5 at NAPA today. It's what I'm looking for. No more crush washers that I never seem to have. P/N 704-1929
