I used the same drain plug washers for years on C900 & 9000's. The washers are stuck to the pan with a little red RTV and rarely come off. The plug is sealed with a thin .5mm bead of red RTV around the outer edge of the plug flange sealing face. Not much RTV is needed to seal the infinitesimally small gap between the washer and tightened down plug flange. Very little RTV is used to avoid getting it on the plug threads and eventually into the engine, or at least having to clean it off the threads. Never had any leaks in over 1/2 million miles of oil changes.
