Non-brand Solenoids for Subarus Sucks

This part broke after less than 1000 miles. The top cylinder is pressed horribly against the magnet body so it leaks right at the pinch where the bolt tongue sticks out and pressurized oil squirts and coats the battery, valve cover and the entire underside of the car in oil. It should also be noted that the Dorman brand failed in a separate vehicle in the same way. Unfortunately, OEM seems to be the only way to use these solenoids. Be wary of other good reviews here as they are most likely parts that haven't broken yet but will.
