Subject: [NET] Payen vs. Standard Oil Pan Gasket=C2=A0Greetings everyone ~
Opinion time:
Subject: Oil pan gaskets.
Without disparaging Moss, I note their 692-000 Payen gasket is $26.99=C2=A0=
while their stock gasket (695-000) is just $4.99. Is the Payen gasket TR3th=
at much better?? Worth the $$ difference?
