I just drained the oil from my primary and noticed the drain plug has a white (maybe acrylic?) ring around it that is crumbled apart. There is also a rubber o-ring that needs to be replaced. Do I need both kinds of o-rings for the primary? Or will just a rubber o-ring suffice? (I have the rubber, don't have the acrylic).

The white may be from some sort of thread locker that they used. I replaced both my o-rings when I changed the oil in both compartments. They use the same size, just make sure its secure on the drain plug and there's no play. Nothing special about the o-rings, just use your standard black ones and you'll be fine. Some loctite or something of the sort wouldn't hurt when putting the plug back in.
Sweet! I didn't see an O-ring on the engine oil drain plug... but it didn't leak out when I gave it the 10 mile test, either. I didn't use lock-tite, so I'll keep an eye on it. Doesn't take me long to rack up 3k! I'll do that next oil change! Thanks for the input!
