As for maintenance, it's quite low - maintenance. You can clean it with a mild automotive cleaner and a soft cloth to keep it looking shiny.

If it shows signs of wear, you can use the replacement O - ring that comes with the product. When installing, ensure it's tightened properly, but don't over - tighten as it might damage the cap or the engine's oil filler opening.
