Changing oil for the first time and there is no brass/copper washer on oil plug but, the Polaris oil change kit i purchased has one in it.
so should there be one or not?

Yea it should have a copper washer on it otherwise it’ll never seal.

I agree Clubin, but i drained the used oil in a sock and there is no copper washer. I then call my dealer and they no longer show a cooper washer on the the drain plug, which is now a 17mm bolt and not a hex plug. The bolt does have a rubber/nylon insert in the head of the oil plug, its weird i know. My dealer is researching the issue and will get back to me.

FYI: I did fill it with oil without the copper washer and no leaks after test drive yet???????

Must be a running change. Weard. Mine has a hex on it.
 
manual info?
  1. Reinstall the engine crankcase drain plug. Torque drain plug to specification.
    TORQUE
    Crankcase Drain Plug
    16 ft-lbs (22 N⋅m)
    NOTICE
    The sealing surface on the drain plug should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
 
Oil plug no longer has cooper washer, the plug which is a 17mm bolt has a nylon washer that inserts in the oil pan side of the plug and its almost hard to tell if its there or not, picture below.
