I wonder how often the smart-o plugs can be re-used before the seal wears out.

If the seal expands on contact with oil that would seem to make it a different size after the first use.


Would be worth it if it lasted 10 times I guess.
I've used one of these in my wifes Mazda 3. (Different plug size)

The oring seal, on the thread, seems to have been lost but the plug and washer are still in great nick. This after 4 oil changes with No detectable leaks.
