I just broke my oil resivor cap:mad:. Not the one on the engine but the black cap that is next to my gas tank that you pour the oil into. My question is this, can I just purchase any type cap that will thread over the hole? Or does it have to be the exact cap that was originaly on it? I did notice that the factory cap has a pressure relief looking system under it...I dont know why...Thanks for any replies! BTW they want $35 for a factor cap that is why I am asking this question.....I would rather spend $10 on a replacement that is just like a regular gas cap...
**Engine is a 2003 V-max 150.

Re: Need some advice

as long as it can seal moisture and debris out AND is vented to allow for air movement as the liquid level drops or expands due to temp changes,any cap will work.
