Default Original Jaguar part "gas cap" vs. cap from Autozone type of stores?

Gas caps.... real Jaguar gas cap vs. gas cap from the local parts store (autozone, Orielly. etc) ?


2005 Jag s-type V6


Should I buy my gas cap from the Jaguar dealer or is a gas cap from a local part store acceptable?






thank you in advance.

Personally, I'd go original OEM.

Why risk a mismatch or premature failure from possibly inferior aftermarket product? If you're nearest Jag dealership is too far away, buy it from one of the online Jag dealerships who will ship it to your door.

Keep in mind that there's a very good chance that it's not the gas cap at fault.
