I figured Id just get one at the auto parts store.......its easier than a service call just for a plug since they will bang me for oil too

I buy them from the dealer. I usually have a couple around all the time. Would just stop there then you make sure you get the right ones.

The drain plug is 14mm x 1.5mm pitch.

yea i too have changed to the FUMOTO VALVE, just this morn, seems it'll help alot by keeping the oil from hitting the skid plate and making such a bad mess. try some of the venders here they are not very costly an they'll ship'em to ya. kennedy diesel is were i ordered mine. goodluck.

Another vote for the fumoto, you'll never have to unscrew it or get another gasket again, plus it keeps your skid plate nice and clean during oil changes well worth the 15bucks many times over.
