You can reuse the cap, but you need to take the overhang off the filter. The new filter you get should come with a new O-ring.

Once you put the cap back on, the torque spec on the cap is 25 Newton meters that actually marked on the cap. Be mindful when you’re tightening this back down, just snug it up.

As far as capacity the truck should take six quarts, here we use Pennzoil Euro L motor oil, it’s dextrose to approved 5:30.
