Default Oil Drain Plug & Gasket

Hey guys, I been havin a problem with a slow oil leak from the oil pan drain plug area, and I noticed that the idiots at Jiffy Lube didnt put my gasket back on or replace it with a new one.. So I went to Advance and bought a plug, which came with a plastic little gasket and bought an aluminum gasket seperately..

Which one should I put on there? Should I put on both like the plastic one and then the aluminum or something? just wondering because I want to park in the garage without worrying about leakin shit everywhere.

either one works. the plastic gasket is a one-time usage deal. i know in the past, honda would give you a plastic gasket for the oil drain plug every time you bought an oil filter from them. dont know if they still do that.

Honda gives you an aluminum crush washer for each oil change. Use factory filters also. If you buy one from a dealer they usually give you a washer with it.
