2011 plastic oit plug

I have 115000 miles on my powerstroke and am the only owner, I have never changed the plug or o-ring in 13 years and it still does not leak.

I was going to see if the O-rings are available separately as the plug itself wont go bad, but have not yet done so.

Anyone know if it is and at what cost?

Man that's a great price, I paid $8 at Oreilly's and swapped mine out changing the oil tonight. 8 bucks is still cheap insurance. I really like this drain plug, it's easy peazy.
