and if any of you have a 1980-81 model that has the plain cap, without
the Oel word on it, just remember that you can get one from a dealer
parts place (hopefully) or any junkyard bus with a busted engine. :)
when i got my 80 model brand new, it had that plain cap. wasn't til a
long while later that vw offered a replacement cap with the word Oel
on it. ;)
