No need for a new plug. You do need a new washer though.

Remember you will need more than just a 4 litre bottle to fill it up.

list:

1. Buy new oil, oil filter and sump plug.
2. Warm the car up to temperature.
3. Take off oil filler cap
4. Jack up car and place catch tank underneath the sump plug.
5. Take out the sump plug and wait until that is all drained out.
6. Then take off your filter. If your lucky you will have one with a nut on the end of it. If not then you will need a filter wrench. (careful there will be hot oil in there too)
7. Replace filter with new one with oil round the seal.
8. Replace sump plug with new washer.
9. Jack the car down then fill with oil until you can see it on the dipstick.
10. Start the car and check for leaks.
11. Turn off, let the oil settle and top up as the filter will have taken some of the oil.

The sump plug is the plug (bolt) nearest the ground on you sump.

My dealer only does a replacement bolt complete with washer (every other car I have worked on you can get them separately from the dealers), don't mind though its only £1.07
