None of the SS or WS6's came with Mobil 1 oil caps/badge. People put them on when they run Mobil in their car. Why would you put it on if you're not running the oil? Kinda retarded and pointless to me.

Ya as GETGONE said, I have a SS and don't have a Mobil 1 cap either. Also ya, curious why you would have the cap and not run Mobil 1? Would you put nitrous tanks in your car and not run the lines? Seems kind of pointless to me.

I believe I was one of the first ones that came up with this idea.....check the link below.
http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...filler_cap.htm
Note my name there?
Early in 2000, I had my car in for service and admired a Corvette sitting at the dealer with the hood open. I noticed the oil filler cap, and thought to myself, I wonder if I can get that thing ordered. So I went to the parts department and asked if they could look up the part number for the cap and order one for me. It came 2 days later, I screwed it on, took a picture of it, and posted it on LS1.com, along with a rather involved story including a candy bar....don't ask me...it's been a while. Before you know it, a bunch of people asked where I got it from so of course I replied with the part number. Just a few days later, my post was still alive and people were reporting that dealers have been telling them that the part was on back order. I went to my dealer and asked, and sure enough, the guy said "ever since you got that thing, people been asking for it".
So...don't think your pimp coz you got that oil cap only now.... 6 years after me!

I agree--don't put it on your car unless you're pouring Mobil 1 into your engine.

Good job Manny!!I think the way I first described the install was that it took two people, one to hold the oil cap in place while the other does donuts to tighten the cap down
