HI all -
Just got a new OEM gas cap to replace my worn and tired old one, probably original to the car, hoping to put an end to my P0442 codes. Here's the question: the old cap says to "tighten to 3 clicks", the new one says to "tighten to click". So, one click or three?

Once it clicks it's there. I just turn it and let it click away.
