That's why I was wondering, lots of engines will throw a code if the dipstick isn't seated as it introduces unmetered air. No big deal, just wondering if my car was compensating and will need to adapt now that there's a fresh O-ring.

I have never found a day that I regret buying a high-quality O-ring assortment. That once every couple of months that you find a marginal one, pull out the assortment and install a new one, ... worth the savings in time/fuel/mileage alone.

It's important.
