Oil drain plug gaskets??

Does Ford have any kind of standard on their drain plug gaskets? My neighbor has a 03 F150 4.2 with a drip. I would like to get a gasket ahead of time. I mostly work on Ford so would like to have a few spares around. Ford 460, 7.3 diesel. A few Escapes. Is there any standards? I see some 14mm and 12mm gaskets and some kits that cover a few. I don't want to pay a lot for a bunch of stuff I will never use, But a kit sounds good. (Maybe with a couple drain plugs??? If they are kind of standard.)

I just found this one on a Zon search.
Zon gasket kit. Zon gasket kit.

It would probably be most efficient to browse Rockauto.com for oil drain plug gaskets for the respective year/make/model/engine vehicles you're talking about.

I did find some commonality between oil plug gaskets for a 2003 F-150 4.2 and a 1995 F-350 7.5 , but no commonality between these and a 2010 Escape.

Good call... Gaskets are a little common, but the drain plugs are all over the place. Quite a few different diameters and thread pitches.

It's amazing that the world hasn't gotten together and figured this one out like they did with oxygen sensors!

It would make it too easy. I just got the gasket set I posted above. Nice set, looks like it will cover most of the common stuff. The box is a little cheap. The gaskets were a bit mixed up from bouncing in shipping.
