Engine cap (oil plug)

The engine cap, also known as the oil cap, is a crucial car part that seals the oil reservoir and prevents oil from leaking out of the engine. It is typically located on the engine valve cover and can be easily unscrewed for adding or changing oil.

The engine cap is made from durable materials such as metal or high-quality plastic to ensure longevity and resistance to high temperatures and pressure. This part is equipped with a gasket that provides a tight seal to prevent oil leaks.

Damage to the engine cap can occur due to prolonged use, mechanical impacts, or aging materials. If the cap is damaged or broken, it can lead to oil leaks, which can cause serious engine problems. Oil leaks can result in engine part wear and even engine damage. To ensure optimal engine performance, it is important to regularly check the condition of the engine cap and replace it if necessary.

Original and secondhand auto parts, including engine caps, can be purchased at auto parts stores, auto shops, and in auto parts catalogs. These car parts can also be found at car salvage yards and online auto parts stores, offering cheap spare parts.
