Pretty sure it's a later model GM but don't remember the exact make and model. Want to put a drain plug in a transmission pan and these seal better than washers.
What car uses a drain plug with a captive o-ring?

Or you can stop by NAPA, they have washers with an o-ring molded on the inner diameter.
Need to buy a drain plug anyway, might as well eliminate washers.
9L8Z-6730-A is the Ford p/n for it. Crosses over to a GM number and Chrysler number too.
The Pentastar in our 2013 Grand Caravan uses that style oil drain plug.
Found the GM part number 11562588. $4 at the dealer. Thanks
I know the one on my 2010 Fusion has a captive rubber o-ring, as shown:
If you search Google for 'Dorman 65324' you'll find Dorman's version, which has the captive o-ring too.

My 2016 Camaro SS has an oil pan drain plug that looks like that as well.

2001 Silverado has the integrated gasket on both the transmission and engine. I think the 4L60E drain plug went away around 2003.
My dad's 96 Regal had one. That one had a magnet. I bought a replacement part once since I figured the gasket was getting old. I think it was silicone.
My 2002 Century had one but I replaced it with a gold plug magnetic plug and kept the oem plug as backup.

How long does the washer seem to last on the gold plug? Its not captive in that, but I've been looking at getting one.

Gold plugs use aluminum crush washers I usually change it every other oil change but haven't noticed if it leaks more or not after the first use.
My Buick does, but it's not exactly an O-ring. It's a flat ring that sits down into a recess inside the flange section of the drain plug. And it fits the threaded section so tight, you have to thread the seal onto the drain plug until it rests in its recess.
Why bother with an unnecessary rubber bit that will eventually fail due to aging?
I've had cars with plain flat steel washers, a plain aluminum washer, and plastic-coated metal on the drain plugs, and none of them ever leaked, or had to be replaced so far. After many uses, the aluminum one eventually became "captive," although it wasn't originally.

AuVeco/Clips and Fasteners. 12MM X 22MM aluminum drain plug gasket. 50 per box. About $12.00. Going to outlast me.
I only have seen them on GM and Ford engines.
Whenever they wear out, I buy a Dorman magnetic plug with the same thread type, but use a copper washer instead of the integrated O-ring.
