Just bought another dozen yesterday
FKM for longevity, from the oring shop

because as harveys and happy diver say, venting past the dipstick is bad

I'd look it every day if the HG was iffy!

In fact I walk past my old red plastic one every time I enter my garage, cos I read the ends snap off when they get old, so I bought a nice steel one from the Volvo stealer (20 quid) and hung the old one on the wall as an oily memento!
