Default 2008 500 H.O oil change sealing washer?

Is there a special kind of sealing washer that I need to get? Where can you get them at? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I'm gonna change my oil tomorrow and want to make sure I have everything I need. Thanks.

I'v changed the oil ( well all fluids ) 12 times on my 08 500 and have never needed to replace any washer .

JUST DON'T tighten the drain bolt too tight or you can spin the brass insert molded into the oil tank and will leak! I've had it happen a couple times on customers machines that over tightened and have had one guy on the forum do the same thing! Just snug up bolt. OPT
