2013 XP 900 oil fill cap

I often thought the oil cap on my Jagged X did not fit very tight or well; it just seemed that not alot of force was needed to screw and unscrew the cap. Well, with my recent dirt injestion problems, you can imagine i am looking everywhere for a root cause since i do not believe dust got into the intake.

After some research, it seems others have had the same concerns as me, and low and behold, Polaris now has a new part number for the oil cap and from my brief internet research, the new one supposedly fits much tighter. $28 for the cap; i have purchased one as i do not want to do this rebuild again anytime soon. I would always see a little bit of sand and dirt inside the oil cap and that worried me. It looks like Polaris recognized there is an issue.
