    Mike Phillips recommends every time you swap out the plate.

    For those who only use one plate? I'm not sure..

    I was also wondering if they are replaceable.

    I would say after about a dozen vehicles or so if you are not changing out plates.

    They are replaceable. Part number 331.066 Felt Ring. $13.26

    I've been using 10w30 motor oil but I'd assume there's something better LOL!
