I use the one that was on my drain plug when I got the van in 2001.  It's
never leaked.  I bought a replacement when I ordered my first set of oil
filters but still haven't had a need to use it.  That's about 25 oil
changes.  I know people have trouble with leaks at the drain plug, but I
never have.
