.... Also, red and black and green colors referred to the OEM o-rings. There's no guarantee aftermarket, such as felpro, will be the same color correspondingly. (If you stick with OEM, then you won't be left wondering because the color is different on whatever brand you bought. Comparing old versus new is useless, as you can see above the old ones shrink. Mahle is the OEM, never had a problem using them. )
