use the rubber one but make sure both surfaces are clean and flat -run a smudgen of oil onto the rubber prior to putting it in.-do not over tighten
just a nice nip.

Rubber/steel ones are better. The plastic ones tend to loosen off and/or leak. Ive never seen one fall out, but Ive seen them awful loose. I always
replace the plastic ones on customers cars when changing oil.
