Gas caps
So I need to go pick up a new gas cap soon for my rs. Last one I picked up from Kragen a few years ago now has the rubber seal on it drying out and getting tiny cracks in it. This did make me get the evap emissions cel a couple weeks ago.
Any specific brands you guys like or prefer? All I'm looking for is something with a good quality rubber seal and something that seals tightly. The one on my car now doesn't feel very tight even after 3 clicks.

Why on earth would you call them when local shops have them in stock and they're pretty cheap? Heck, why you'd call Renick of all places to begin with is beyond me.

Guess I'll probably go with OEM.
Are there any places local other than the dealerships that would have actual oem caps and not knockoffs? If not I'll probably just order from subaruparts.com

Thanks for the offer I appreciate it.
I just wanted to get this taken care of and ended up going and picking up a Stant gas cap earlier tonight. I must say it fits wayy better than the other one I had. Definitely a VERY tight seal, so I think I should be good for a while.

because Renick ones are rated at 2hp opposed to Kragen, Napa etc that are only rated at 0.8hp
