Default oil drain plug

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the oil drain plug from a 03 sportsman 500 and and newer 500.

Thanks HOSPORTSMAN

Default oil drain plug

The problem I have is that my oil tank leaked on my sportsman since the first time I changed the oil. I came out
pretty hard from the factory. I torqued it to the factory spec. because of my fear of the plastic tank. It leaked a little so I held off on taking it to the dealer thinking maybe it was a bad gasket since I did not replace it. After leaving a pan under it for the last few years and adding oil when needed, I finally replaced the tank with a new one. But the new tank has a little plastic v coming down to the drain plug and my drain plug is to big around to fit. And yes I did replace the gasket with all the other oil changes, It is not the first oil change still. Thought someone could tell me if the drain plugs were now different.

Thanks HOSPORTSMAN
