Of course, the dealer should have these, but a well-assorted FLAPS should
too, as many cars uses copper rings on the drain plugs. When I change the
oil, I usually flips the ring around, if I don't have any new ring to put on.
I also remember the oil strainer gasket kits for air-coolers from VW used to
come with six small copper rings, and one large in addition to the strainer
and cover gaskets, of course.
