FAQ
Will this fit both 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins?Yes. It’s listed for 1998.5–2018 5.9L and 6.7L ISB applications used in Ram 2500/3500 and many 4500/5500 models.
Do I need a new cap or just the O-ring?
Usually the O-ring is all that’s needed. Replace the cap if you see cracks, damaged threads, or a distorted groove.
What are symptoms of a bad oil cap O-ring?
Oil film or residue on the valve cover, oil smell, and a cap that doesn’t feel snug after tightening.
Any special tools or sealant needed?
No sealant required. Just a light film of clean engine oil to aid installation.
