Hi,
I have a two questions first question is; I have a slow leak and I am changing my valve core on my car listed above, but I have TPMS I was wondering if I could use copper valve core and it has to be nickel? And second is after I change the valve core would I have to get my TPMS relearned because if changing the valve system or should it be ready to go.

If you mean the actual core and not the stem. As long as the core fits the installed stem and does not leak it will work.
Now, if you are going to break the tire down and change out the entire TPMS stem and transmitter, you need to get it programmed.
