Default Threads and gasket for s480 oil drain?

I have searched and am finding different answers. I got the billet oil drain from lil john motorsports. What thread Is the drain on the s480? I had read a bunch saying it was metric. I got the metric bolts and they don't work. I tried some from my bucket o bolts. Looks like my 3/8's bolts work. I didnt see anywhere though that said they were standard. What size is everyone using? Also the gasket I got from them is the standard size opening and the drain I got is for a 3/4 npt hole. I read alot of guys are just using copper rtv, which is the way I'm thinking of going. Wanted to see others opinion on here. Thanks!

IIRC my s475 used 15mm head bolts taken from some factory brackets on my Ly6.
