yeah i did that when installing my new engine 
It broke RIGHT by the end that goes into the housing. So i jammed the oil injector into the plastic and reclamped teh little metal piece. Is seems to be holding strongly... If it broke, would this trigger an error code??? If it broke yould see oil dripping off the engine while running, right??
PS, IF it did break, how long does an engine last w/o it???'
Ahh... To answer your ? i think that plastic is the BEST for that...
