Oil Caps for Popular European Cars: BMW, Audi, and VW and Mercedes
The oil cap, a seemingly small but vital component, plays a critical role in vehicle maintenance. Positioned atop the engine, it ensures oil containment and prevents the entry of contaminants. An oil cap in good condition minimises oil spillages, restricts airborne contaminants from accessing the engine, and maintains the engine's oil pressure. Regular replacement of the oil cap during oil changes promotes optimal engine performance and prevents expensive damages.
When to Replace an Oil Cap
Oil caps often need replacement every two to three oil changes. During oil changes, the cap may be loosened to access the engine oil dipstick, resulting in wear or debris accumulation that can interfere with its function. Additionally, constant engine vibration can cause the oil cap gasket to crack over time, leading to potential dirt and debris contamination in the oil system. Hence, regular oil cap replacement is crucial for the efficient functioning of the vehicle's oil system.
Installation of Oil Caps
Fitting a new oil cap is a straightforward process. Start by identifying the appropriate cap for your specific vehicle make and model, typically by checking the part number on the cap to be replaced. Alternatively, utilise our 'Shop by Vehicle' feature for accurate parts identification. Once you have the correct cap, simply unscrew the old one and install the new one, ensuring the arrow on the new cap points in the correct direction. After installing the new cap, refill the oil and verify the oil level before starting the engine.
