Part number for the engine oil drain plug?

My hex socket started slipping on the drain plug so I went to the dealer to order a new one. They ordered part ZJ01-10-404 which is pictured on the left. The drain plug that came out of my 09 RX8 is pictured on the right. What is the correct drain plug part number?

Sorry for the poor cell phone pic:




I have a track day on Thursday and I may be missing it. If anyone knows where I can get a replacement drain plug overnighted, please let me know.

I might also look into a quick release drain plug. Which part fits our car?

Thanks.

Thanks Ash, much appreciated! I'm not very happy with that dealer right now (Fremont Ford/Mazda).
