If the boss is accurately flat, and the drain plug has an accurately flat surface, you don't need a washer at all to keep it from leaking. As has been mentioned here, the washer is there mainly to keep the surfaces from scoring as you put a moderate amount of torque on the drain plug,.. so,... always use a washer.

Theres the biggie,,
Ive got probably 50 my SIL gave me that are teflon coated that fit a Toyota Matrix( No matter now, that no good piece of crap totaled that car),, Id send some, but the hassle over such a cheap answer is not worth it, YOu can go to any parts house or probably even a nut & bolt store & get a coupla washers thatll do the job. Aluminum, copper, brass, even plastic, tho Im not that excited about plastic, but Ive had cars that have them & never had a problem, but they always had wide flats on the oil pan & wide shoulders on the plug. The crush zone on the bike is a little narrow for plastic IMO,.,
