These caps all seem to have a limited lifespan before they fail to function properly. Now at more than 9 years of vehicle ownership, my wife's 2006 XK8 is currently on its fifth cap. OEM appears to last longer than the various aftermarket versions (which are significantly less expensive)....

I have no explication why my original cap is still functioning after 166,000 miles and 20 years.
I’m just not that lucky (usually).

PS. in other nonessential news, my shocks and their bushings have 7 years and .52,000 miles on them and appear to be doing OK too.
