🔧 Fuel Cap - Replacement

The fuel cap on your Rogue is a sealed maintenance item that helps keep the fuel system closed and the EVAP system working correctly. If the cap is cracked, the seal is torn, or it no longer clicks tight, replacing it can prevent check-engine lights and fuel vapor leaks.

Difficulty Level: Beginner | Estimated Time: 0.1-0.2 hours
