Looking for the skid plate that goes over the oil drain plug

I’ve had my 2012 SR5 for about a year now. When I first got under it I noticed it was missing the bit of skid plate that covers the oil drain plug. Anyone know where I could source one of these?

Looks like this:



Thanks!

Another reason why so many do their own oil changes. Some oil change monkey left it off.
Hope someone kept their old one when upgrading skidplates.

online Toyota dealers sell for around $25 + shipping.

You should be able to find one and price match it with your local toyota dealership.

The quick lube guy apparently thought it had to be removed to get the 14mm drain plug out. Not necessary.
Yep - change your own oil. Be it a dealership or elsewhere - sooner or later something will go wrong with their work.

Yeah, I usually change my own oil. It wasn’t there when I bought it. Looks like it was a pain to get off as there is a broken bolt in one of the two spots too. Thanks for the part number!

Huh? So what do you do - slide an end wrench in from behind and just let the oil drain onto the plate? Sounds like a massive mess just to avoid undoing two little bolts....to each their own though I guess?
