Installation Instructions
The installation of the Dorman 921-149 Oil Filter Cap is designed to be straightforward and typically does not require specialized tools. Follow these general steps:
- Ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is on a level surface.
- Locate the existing oil filter cap on your vehicle's engine.
- Carefully remove the old oil filter cap. Note the orientation and any associated O-rings.
- Install the new Dorman 921-149 Oil Filter Cap, ensuring the O-ring is properly seated.

Maintenance
The oil filter cap itself requires minimal maintenance. During each oil change, inspect the cap for any signs of cracking, stripping, or damage. Ensure the O-ring is in good condition and properly seated to prevent oil leaks. Replace the cap if any damage is observed.
Troubleshooting
Oil Leakage After Installation:
- Incorrect O-ring Seating: Ensure the O-ring is correctly positioned in its groove and not pinched or twisted.
- Improper Torque: Verify the oil filter cap is tightened to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Both undertightening and overtightening can cause leaks.
- Compatibility Issue: Double-check that the Dorman 921-149 is the correct part for your specific vehicle model and year using a reliable fitment tool. Some vehicle variations may require a different cap.
- Damaged Cap: Inspect the cap for any manufacturing defects or damage that might prevent a proper seal.
