Which is the correct magnetic drain plug to use? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I am looking to replace my plug with a magnetic plug, problem is I am getting conflicting information on which to use.

From my research some people are saying to use the Dorman 65372 oil plug, yet Amazon and AA say it does not fit. To me this look like the correct one, here is the link:

.
Another member on here is using Dorman 65212 which both Amazon and AA say fit but has a metal washer, here is the link:

Then there is the gold plug which I have but just looks way to short and also has a metal washer. I'm nervous to use this one!

Can anyone please point out which is the proper on to use.
