    You shouldnt have to change the sump plug or its gasket(copper sealing washer etc), unless they have been damaged. (unless holden used a "one use only" disposable sump plug on the later model commys). Ive been using the same sump plug and copper sealing washer for the last 6 years so far on my VS, it never leaks etc, in fact it will probably last another 6 years yet. I change my oil and filter every 5000k's, so it gets undone and tightened up again fairly often.
