I’ve stuck with OEM caps for peace of mind. They might be pricier, but better safe than sorry.
It’s also good practice to flush your cooling system periodically. This can help prevent buildup that might lead to pressure issues.

Absolutely! Depending on your vehicle, doing a flush every couple of years could really help maintain the system.
I should probably do that. I usually forget until something goes wrong. Any tips on how to perform a flush safely?
Just ensure your engine is cool and follow the fluid disposal guidelines after. It’s simpler than it sounds!
One time, my car almost blasted me with steam because I neglected a small leak for too long. Lesson learned!

Yikes! That sounds terrifying. Regular maintenance is really the key to avoiding those scary moments.
It’s true! Just don’t forget, sometimes a little humor can ease the stress of car troubles. Like, why did the coolant break up with the radiator? Too much pressure!
