I did my first DIY oil change after Toyota Care ended to find the Oil Sump Underfloor Drain Cover missing (Nice work dealership). I have been searching for a replacement with no luck. Does anyone have an idea of a source or part number? Thanks.

I just did my first DIY oil change as well and had the exact same experience ?

Is it worth replacing this cover? I figured it probably doesn't matter too much.

Yes, it's worth replacing the cover. I'm quite surprised leaving that hole open doesn't generate an annoying whistle or howling noise at speed.

Just imagine...you reach 60mph and WWWHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

I drove my Yukon with the running boards off for a bit, and the exposed brackets on the body made a high-pitched whistle that actually turned heads.
