..and if you replace the oil seal O ring on the cap, make sure you put it in the correct location on the cap. It fits not directly under the cap lip, but into the groove below the lip. Under the cap lip it will hold pressure for a mile or two without leaking. Don't ask me how I know , but luckily I only drove it to the local supermarket, before spotting the little puddle underneath.


..and the cap needs the proper socket to be able to release it, they are very tight and plastic, easily damaged without the proper socket.
