Which is the correct oil drain plug?

[Jnaszty559]

I went to the dealership and purchased a plug ( the right side one) and the one of the Left I ordered off Amazon. I have a 2021 GT. Which is the correct one or does it matter ? I realized that I got the same one from American muscle and currently have the LEFT one on my Mustang.

Left one is GT350, right one is 5.0.

I guess American muscle sold me a gt350 one… currently have it on. No leaks surprisingly

I used the GT350 one my last oil change. It's been almost 5k miles and its not leaking.

Seems that the only difference is that the GT has a tab on top and the GT350 has a hole for a wrench.

but WHY ?

Whenever you have a doubt in the future, your dealership can look it up using your VIN.

This is the correct drain plug.

I heard people having problems with these leaking

Yeah, I've heard all about that.
Used them on 3 different Fords for the past 8 years. No issues for me.

This is the correct drain plug.

How much are those compared to the plastic plugs?

OEM is several dollars.
Ronin runs around 60. The star-shaped adapter controls the flow from off to moderate.
