Default Oil Plug Gasket

I usually wouldnt use anything except for oem parts but would this work for the job it has to do?

you can get aftermarket washers that are the proper aluminum metal and size without going OEM, but the one you list is a fibre gasket. What happens if it breaks and falls apart while in use ?. I personally would not use it, I'd rather re-use an OEM washer than that one new.

Or just buy some new oem in bulk, but oem is the way to go.
