Dorman 095 149 Aluminum Drain Gasket Review

I bought these (Dorman 095-149) for my 2011 Lancer Evolution Dealer wants $3+ each. I usually use them for 2 oil changes and then change them. It's definitely better to buy them this way, and they're the direct equivalent of the OEM.

Got these from the dealer as a much cheaper alternative to Toyotas which cost over $2 EACH for a dumb washer. 10 packs are enough for the rest of your life. Used them to change the transmission oil in my 2005 Corolla XRS (6 speed manual). Used on fill and drain plugs.

The gaskets I received from NorthernLightsAutoSupply were *not* Dorman 095-149 but were a generic replacement that was a bit thicker than the genuine Dorman product (easy to see but I checked with Mitutoyo). digital caliper). They came in a clear plastic bag with a card inside. If you want real Dorman pads that come in a little orange box, buy them from someone else. They may work just as well as Dormans in some applications, but you shouldn't advertise them as such.

I have changed the transmission fluid for my 99 Camry 4 times in the last 2 months after years of neglect. For the first time with an old seal. Bad idea! Liquid was leaking everywhere. Then the second time I changed the fluid, replaced the gasket with one from the dealer, there is no leak. But this gasket cost me $3.50. Since then I've used these Dorman pads twice, they've worked well both times, they haven't leaked. Dorman gaskets are thinner than dealer ones, a little over half the thickness,
