The seals honestly cost almost as much as a new injector. Something to keep in mind.
If you’re feeling adventurous and have a few hours, you can swap the fuel injector yourself for less than $300. Oil change with the OEM 5-30 oil and filter is about $45. And a coolant flush which on the V6 is ridiculously easy only cost $35. Our manifold seals can be reused since they’re rubber.
The dealership one time wanted to charge me $750 for new spark plugs that only cot $100 in parts. Didn’t have the money at the time so decided to give it a go. 45 minutes later I was done. Since then I’ve been doing all repairs myself. Plenty of YouTube videos to help.
But if you’re going with the dealer, skip the unnecessary stuff and just get one new injector. Make sure that they’re not giving themselves a 15% part markup fee either…

Those are direct injection. 2 lower seals, upper seal, and a shim.
The rails are set in between the two heads and you usually end up pulling both rails to just get one out.
