Sport oil filler cap?

Does anyone know a good fit for a billet oil filler cap, something asthetic. I wanted the crank case breather but I don’t think it fits.

I’ve see plenty of options on the internet. This one is probably the one I’d personally choose just because ECS/Turner is such a large and known company and it doesn’t scream out for attention.

That being said, as much as I hate plastic parts, I would be nervous of the metal threads on the cap creating issues with the metal threads of the oil filter housing. With plastic, there’s virtually no chance of the threads galling and causing damage.

I stuck with the stock one myself for peace of mind, although I’m sure there are plenty of people running metal caps without issue.

Stick with oem
You need perfect negative pressure inside engine. Anything aftermarket might not be up to good quality 👍🏻

Are you looking for a filler cap, or a filter cap?

I was just looking at this one from IND for my n63. I purchased the Future Classic oil filter cap from them and couldn’t be happier. But here’s the filler cap I’m looking at:

Good on the crankcase pressure, but i kept the stock coolant lid because of this reason.
