sts oil fill cap update anyone with am sts should consider this if they haven't done a permanent fix yet. the oil fill cap is made of plastic, at least on the older kits to avoid oil on your engine you should either relocate the return hose from the fill cap to the oil pan or valve cover or get sts to warranty the cap with a new one which is billit and does the job alot better.

We relocated the oil return line to the pan on this Camaro after the line kept giving us problems with it coming loose. Bob

Reloacted in the pan. After having the same problem with the cap pushing itself off the valve cover causing a big mess. Bought a new plastic cap and work good until it got hot, then went back to the same mess. Got tried of messing with it. Dropped the pan and tapped it in. Added a new coupler while I was at it started to seap a little bit. No more issues from that. But good post about it though. You would think STS would redesign the flaw, but o well. Live and leran and put it in the pan from the start.
