New coolant reservoir tank cap in order - which to buy?

The seal on my coolant tank is badly tattered, so a new one is in order. Question is - should I buy a cap from the dealer, or will an aftermarket (from a local auto parts store) be sufficient?

I am going to the local MB dealer tomorrow to get an oil filter (changing tomorrow) and need to know if I should get a cap from the dealer. I am not sure, but it may be an item that needs ordered.

Thanks in advance.

I grabbed one in a pinch from AutoZone here in town, it was about $5 after tax... works fine on my SDL. I'd purchase one again.

Thanks Hit Man. I phoned the dealer and he said it was $17.50, but it had to be ordered. I will just pick one up at AutoZone too.

The seal on mine is in very poor condition.
