Should I switch back to oem asap or do you think I will be fine? I checked my resistance in the dr Prius app before and after the change there is no change. Hopefully I did not damage anything.
    Attached photo is driving on a very hot day.

    Haven't watched that video yet so don't know Jack's point, but the main reason for not using nuts with grooves in it for me is because NiMH are prone to corrosion and the nuts create more room for the corrosion than a flat surface nut. However, you no longer have a NiMH that creates corrosion like that, so it's fine, nothing to worry about.
