It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of applications, including the 2004-2015 Audi A4 (L4-1.8L, L4-2.0L, V6-3.0L, V6-3.2L), 2003-2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 (L5-2.7L, V6-3.0L, V6-3.5L), and 2008-2014 Freightliner Cascadia — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of makes, models, years, and engines.
The oil filler cap closes off the oil fill opening, sealing engine oil inside while blocking dirt, debris, and moisture and helping maintain the crankcase seal. Signs this cap may need replacing include oil seepage or an oil smell around the fill opening, or a cap that is loose, cracked, or no longer sealing. If a worn or damaged filler cap is the cause, this replaces it.
