Oil Cap

Hey guys the other day when I was going to install my KN Intake when I opened the decklid I found my oil cap loose almost falling off and I saw oil on the bottom of the decklid. Then today after I went out I came home to check on my intake to make sure things were tight I noticed the oil cap again came loose. Ive always noticed this cap doesnt lock or does it. Do I have a bad cap should it click tight?

I was also wondering if this could cause a MAF problem with these KNs. The oil hose is RIGHT next to the filter. Let me know what you guys think thanks

Make sure the O ring is present inside the cap and not twisted or missing. That firms it up when tightening.

You should not use a KN if you don't want to loose power, put the stock filter.

That's a pretty strong and uninformed claim, sir...
