Here's a stupid question...
Is this my only option for an oil cap, for a 90 Cherokee 4.0 or is there something better out there?
I bought a brand new one but, it doesn't feel like it's snug enough and oil still leaks past the seal.

My first thought would be to find a thicker rubber type gasket material and make your own. If that didn't work maybe heat the ears up with something like a heat gun/blow dryer and flex them up a little.

I've thought of removing the original seal and putting an o-ring in and then reinstalling the seal.
