Need A Parts Source Please

I have a 2011 6.7L SD.
I’ve reused the oil drain plug after doing changes, but have heard of the O ring failing and resultant oil loss. Where is the best place to source replacement plugs?

Also, I’ve been told there is an easier to read oil dipstick than the stock bullet type. Would like a source for that too.

Thanks.

Mine has a copper ring, don’t know if it’s original. I swap it every couple of oil changes.

Since your truck is a 2011, does it have the funky plastic drain plug?

If so, here's one source:

For the oil dip stick, you may find this thread helpful:

Or just upgrade to a steel pan like the later trucks...

Thanks!
Indeed it’s that funky yellow plug…on the *back* of the pan. Playing catch with a stream of hot oil is never not fun. 🙄

The steel pan is the way to go I think.
