I got one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-09-PONTIAC-G8-GT-L76-6-0L-V8-BILLET-ENGINE-OIL-CAP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33622QQihZ015QQitem Z250365688162QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

It fits perfectly in my limited space area and is a really nice part. I left the sticker off mine (comes separately). Its a nice pretty for very little money.

I have the same cap but it says Supercharged because it came from my GTP. Wreck I would sure like to have your decal if you're not gonna use it.

How does it fit? I found the Mobile 1 cap to fit way too snug. It's a pain in arse to twist on and off. Maybe this one fits better?

Seems to fit fine. I only put it on, haven't tried removing it :)

I asked the same question to the seller. The groove in the Mobile 1 oil cap is too squared and narrow to mate up to the beveled notch in the oil cap neck. I'm afraid I'm gonna tear off the plastic neck trying to twist the Mobile 1 cap on and off. I use two hands to prevent that from happening, which I find completely ridiculous for an oil cap. How would you compare twisting on your new cap vs. the stock oil cap?

those are nice, i got one..........

I am looking for a power steering cap to even out the look.

I put a little silicon grease on the neck by the O-ring, that allows it to go on and off easily.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

I got a malware warning from the link. I decided not to go there. Can't tell if the warning was legit or not.

Your mileage may vary.

Wow, what a difference a little grease on the o-ring makes! It was the o-ring that was the problem, not the groove. Guess I'll be using my Mobile 1 cap after all. Just ordered a cap decal from Reflective Concepts. :)

Sure was and it works real well. Only difference in mine over the one on ebay is that I had mine made and it is Reflec-Dome decal from www.reflectiveconcepts.com instead of just being a flat decal.

I bought 1 yesterday and it was the last 1. They will have more daily.

The oil cap is virtually identical to the Mobile 1 oil cap, except for the decal that comes with it. I too ordered a reflect-dome decal with a red pontiac logo and black background to make it unique.

Hey wreck any word on the radiator cap cause that would be sweet and would help complete the dress up.

ronbuick

Bought one myself, but I did use the sticker, was not thinking, the sticker is not
oriented correct enough for me, installed the sticker first instead of orienting it
on my car, Duh, a very nice piece, I would get one, thanks.

He said he ordered a stock one which he will then send overseas to see if they can dupe it. I wouldn't expect quick but he seemed to think it would happen eventually.

Did you pick it up direct? I have some friends down in Hialeah.

I guess I could swing down there myself too. I know enough curse words in Spanish to get me through traffic down there.
