I didn't know Mitsu used special crush washers until the ones from Advance I put in my oil cooler fitting kept leaking.

It might have to do with the fact that the stock oil cooler seals are metal with a rubber gasket in the middle, and not actual crush washers.

Probably your best bet, Mr. Invisible mode. You can get them online if you want to buy 100 to 100,000 of them at a time

You might be able to find some at a hydraulic supply place, but is it really worth the effort? The factory parts are only a couple dollars. Might be worth it for the convenience alone.

Great story!

That was a great story!!

I was lucky, the O'rilley's and the Advanced in Waco had good people. They knew there stuff, and when they didn't they didn't pretend that they did.

Auto Zone on the other hand, umm yeah just about on par with your story.

The carquest here is alot better than autozone.

what's a crush washer?

I once had an interview for a part time gig at autozone. They ask you to name various components of all the major systems on a car (cooling/fuel/ignition/engine/ac/etc). As i was naming every single part on the car, the guy looked dumbfounded. I never heard back from them. Im convinced he was concerned i would end up taking his job

Hahaha, my ol roommate had something similar happen when he applied to AutoZone. It was just for a part time job while he was still in school. At the interview he was asked very simple questions in which he responded to in detail. He too did not receive a call back.

I was actually pissed he didn't get it, I could have gone there, told him what I needed and been out real quick. But noooo they only hire those who usually don't know anything.

Yea, i was thinking, "how is it that I dont get hired and these bozos do?"

hahahaha

We don't call it Vato Zone for nothing

I usally call it ameteur zone, but i wanted that last post to be official

If only you guys had Pep Boys out west.

It's twice as big as the average Auto Zone. They've usually got more in stock, but they also have a much bigger section of ricey junk.

I still love going into auto zone, and using their crap like I own the place. Usually they start throwing a hissy fit, and i just have to tell em every time, I know exactly wtf Im looking for, im saving you the hassel and time, just go get me the fucking part.

I was thinking about applying to autozone, but I need a full time job.
