Every oil change

When they are worn out. It is pretty easy to tell when the material has lost its resilience. IPD had unobtainum ones for 20 bucks. I thought that was funny. Just to be clear, I love IPD.

 

Every 60K miles or if I notice it getting less pliable.

 

+1

temporary solution to flip the rubber gasket and should be ok for another 10k miles.

 

never, yolo

yolo: You often leak oil.

I change it whenever it starts to harden. Usually right away on any new car I buy and then every few years after that.

 

never lost a single drip of oil from my motor, nice try tho. i replaced it once in the 20k miles i drove my car but that's cause the PO never did. so my car went 70k without it being changed and it was fine, i just replaced it because i could tell it was worn

Exactly. All of our cars deserve it, and I replace them at every oil change at that price. Overkill? Probably, who cares? I don't

 

Buy 10 from FCP and never pay for another one again.

buy 10, use one, put 9 somewhere in the garage and forget about them when you need one 50k miles later lmao

Ive noticed the seals last maybe 5k before it starts to seep. But if you can get 50k out of one, right on. I drive my car 25-30k miles a year, and more often than not it's well over 100 miles a day.

Can't imagine it's too hard to get 50k miles out of one that sits in a garage all day

IPD gasket, $10, never worry about it again.

 

+1 on the ipd gasket, but the regular rubber ones last awhile specially I've noticed if you pull it off and clean the oil off both sides of them before putting them back on every time you break that seal they last a bit longer. If not i've seen them start to seep much sooner. Just my personal experience though.

 

I think I've only changed it once in 80k miles...the one on there is getting swapped out next oil change as it's looking a bit dirty around the oil fill. Probably has 40-50k on it, so that sounds about right for a change interval, at least for me.

 

I got 160K miles out of my first one, but it was starting to seep by then. Second one is still going strong even after 40K miles.

 

My IPD gasket failed after about a yr or so...like a few other IPD items

I guess I would change it if it started leaking, but at 114K miles it is not leaking so there's no reason to change it.

 

These gaskets are cheap and I buy a handful every time I buy one of those filter deals that FCP has. With having them around whenever needed, I just replace mine every third oil change as preventative against oil leaking under the plug cover and making a mess.

Cheers,

Bill

 

I think I wasted more money on APC cleaning the oil around the spark plugs than I did replacing the gasket. It is a pita to clean.
