Default Oil pump pick up tube O-ring question
What color do I use. WS6 store sent me a blue one with my pump. I have been told to not use blue or black, but to use a red one. Anyone that has experience with this know more about this?

the factory is a blue one and some of the ones sent with aftermarket pumps are black, both are ok to use. if you have a lq4 or lq9 i think you use the green ones

In an F-body, the correct GM o-ring should be blue.

the red ones are for the truck pickups, the blue and black ones are for the cars
