    My local dealer is awful (Autonation Toyota Arapahoe in Centennial,CO)....they are unable to locate a part # for inverter drain plug gasket. In fact...they tried telling me there isn't a drain plug at all

    Anyway....before I sift through dozens of part #'s online, I figured I would ask the group first.
    Thanks in advance!

    As a wise man once said: it is better to have and not want than to want and not have." :)

    To the OP's question: I will be changing my coolant soon. Momentum Toyota of Fairfield,ca gave me the same response:mad:, but I was able to find the part number ( see the pic). I think both total were $5, so good piece of mind:).

    Good luck with your coolant change!

    Reusing gaskets/washers is not good practice.....unless you're in a pinch....which I am not.
