I'm about to go change the oil on my 370z but the dealer is closed today and i dont have the Copper drain plug washer, is there any way that i can use the one I currently have or can I buy one at the auto parts store?

Do not use the one you already have, they are one time use only. You should be able to find one in any local parts store. It just a squish-able copper washer, nothing really fancy.

Well, very often you hear of people using them over and over but it is not recommended. You chance seepage/a leak. Get a Genuine Nissan crush washer (Manufacturer Part Number: 11026-01M02 12mm OEM) and it has two different sides so do be sure to put it on right. Read back through this thread for pics of the crush washer installed correctly, etc.
