Make of it what you will. I believe it was degraded from (1) Age (2) additional exposure to the under the hood atmosphere since the cap was missing long term. I think it is wise to have a spare on hand knowing what I now know. How to know exactly which insert came as original equipment, I have no idea. Will a standard tire valve suffice? I will find out I guess.

The schrader site even says it's the same body with a variety of interchangable inserts based upon the application.

So leave the dead horse be. I would hate for someone to report us to the ASPCA.
