Okay, a nice simple technical (barely) question that
hopefully won't start any arguements. :}

The tech section on miata.net mentions that the oil drain
plug has a washer that needs to be replaced when the oil is
changed.  Where does one obtain this washer?

Okay, maybe a silly question, but it's the sort of thing I
like to find out _before_ draining all the lubricant out of
the engine.... 

I've managed to put 1100 happy miles on Nameless in just 3
weeks, and I'm considering changing out the oil for a good
synthetic, Red Line, probably... haven't decided what grade
yet would be best for 105 degree Texas.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.
