True, but one can keep an eye on that when changing oil,they don't fail out of the blue.
They fail only after wearing trough by a loose fitting.
If the fitting feels tight and is dry i think it it be OK....And one can always replace the clips when in doubt.
I had to come back in and post again cause Im excited that I just got my new web site up today!
