Far more likely to be an old washer stuck on the pan that looks like it’s part of it.

Nylon doesn’t leak. I use OEM toyota washers on corollas and they’re essentially cardboard with rubber and they’ve never leaked in all my years

If its designed to be a crush washer, it’ll do. Its hard to F up.

Theres reusable rubber gaskets, fomoto valves, copper washers, nylon washers, more traditional metal washers.

All of em work and leaks are usually on the installer and not the material.

Cleaning is important, even if its just a brush with a paper towel, 1 washer is important, and torque specs are important if you’re unsure.

The fact that you believe that says a lot about you, lmao.

If you haven’t ever even had experience with a dead battery how do you expect to comment on this subs quality.

I worked for a ford dealership for a while and I gotta say you really dont want anything post covid from them. Cars would come factory with tons of issues we’d have to have our mechanics fix.

Reduced performance and economy. You’ll usually get better mpg with the recommended fuel so its best to keep using it. You might have some other small issues but it takes years of using the lower number to actually cause issues.

If it says REQUIRES 91, then you will have misfires, trouble starting, drastically reduced power and economy, and engine problems after a while

Depends on the recall, history, and reason for failure.

Hyundai having to do 3 different recall fixes for one leaking fuel line is an indication of poor planning and poor quality.

Toyota, who stocks these parts long before using them, weeds out any bad or recalled components as they’ve been sitting in a factory for years, and every other brand discovers theres an issue.

Ford, who has about 5 recalls per model, shows a serious lack of quality control, and planning.
