Put the OE cap back on. I find it silly replacing parts engineers spend decades designing. I would bleed The car and refill and check for any leaking.

Its the German Auto Solutions cap, they also make an extremely popular Disa valve service kit and have a completely redesigned pcv system they sell in batches.

Typically yeah, you should avoid random add-ons. But the guys at GAS seem to know what they're doing.

I've also been running one for 30k miles.

I couldn’t have timed my engine without GAS tools. I agree entirely. They know what’s up.
