questions about oil change kit?
For a 2014 RT Limited
I purchased an oil change kit from a supplier here on the site a while back. I wanted it on hand so when I reached the appropriate mileage, I would be ready for the change. While doing it yesterday, I noted the small O-rings did not have the color coding of green and black like on the original oil drain plug and the ones that go on the stinger down inside the filter seemed to fit a bit loose. Everything went back together smoothly but I am a little concerned about the variances from the original O-rings. Do those swell up after spending time immersed in oil or should I be looking for different ones and not drive my Spyder until all have been replaced again?
This was my first oil change and just wanting to make sure everything is kosher. TIA

Probably best to address that question direction to the supplier. I don't know who you bought it from but I can think of 2 and they are both very knowledgable and give good after the sale service.

Most reuse the original O rings for many oil changes and last a long time.

I don't think the oil change is so bad for my F3S. I think their way of checking the oil is a PIA..

you are 100% correct; that's at the top of the procedural list for the next one.
