radiator cap cross reference
An alternate to oem is Stant #10233 available at Advance Auto for 7.49. 1.1 bar=16lb. I found my gasket was split on the original cap while I was changing coolant. I also found my overflow bottle was plugged. I unhooked the overflow hose to drain the bottle and nothing came out. I used my compressor to clear the blockage while flushing the bottle with a hose and let the sediment float out.Just wanted to share this because the overflow function probably rarely gets tested.

The parts stores around here carry a brand called Motorad. I have been using one for a while now and am happy.
fyi.... Deionized water destroyed my stock one. Or at least that's my best guess as to what happened. Something about the PH.
