Radiator Cap Issue
OOOOOOOOOOOOOkay so,
I bought a new radiator cap because i was sick of looking at that stupid little aluminum one, Now the stock one is rated at .9 bar, which is 13.5 PSI. So i hopped on amazon.com and bought a decent looking one that is rated at 13 PSI. and it leaks, not bad but it does. now if i were to buy the 16 PSI one would it not leak? because its kind of annoying me. heres the one i bought...that leaks...

Now my question is, If i were to get the 16 PSI one, would i be okay?
Dont say was it on right? because this thing was so tight i had trouble getting it off.
Here it is on my car

hat looks like a cheap one made in China. creative, functional, and matching but what good is it if it doesn't work. i would go ahead and put the old one back on. or paint it chrome/blue.
