Didn't work well for me for caps

Climbed into the hole but dangled and the plastic is easy to scratch. He pulled it out with his hands. I took it off and just used the oil cap

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Crumpled

Not good. fits Caps

Looks OK at first glance. That looks great. The decor is another thing, it was sloppy. Then when I tried to tighten it, I broke the latch plate. I usually like Dorman parts but I miss this one.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all

Feels loose when installed

Item loose/wobbles when installed. It snaps into place but still wobbles when the lid is unscrewed. When unscrewing the cover, you have to hold it tight because it appears to be detachable.

Pros
  • Nice touch
Cons
  • Good but not great

the tongue of the lock of the fuel cap is cut off.

The locking tab fits the OEM filler cap and secures the cap to the filler cap when you screw the oil filler cap back on. However, when I installed the factory oil filler cap into the filler neck, the small retaining tab broke off the attachment point on the inside of the filler neck.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Bad publicity but it's my fault for not hooking it.

My oil hose did not come with a gasket as described in the description. I realized this too late, so it's my fault and I can't ask for a refund. Once you have the hose on you will need to replace it if you remove it as the plastic tabs will break. Bad display but it's my fault I didn't see it before installing it. I will order a new tube elsewhere. When ordering from this company please indicate whether or not your pipe comes with a seal. Don't make the same mistake as me.

Pros
  • The delivery was very fast
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other picks

fits OEM on gas cap

I'm not sure why some people are struggling with this and giving bad reviews. Mine came with an o-ring and fit perfectly. Once installed, it can only be removed by removing the valve cover and depressing the tab. If you try to take it off without removing the valve cover it will break the tab and wobble, that's how the original GM is designed, and it's designed not to come loose when you remove the oil filler cap. I think some of the bad reviews are from people who removed them afterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Oil Filler Tube with Quality Control Issues

The Dorman filler tube has a bonded fuel cap retaining tab on the inside of the filler neck. This securing tab fits the OEM filler cap and will secure the cap to the filler neck when you screw the oil filler cap back on. However, when I installed the factory oil filler cap into the filler neck, the small retaining tab broke off the attachment point on the inside of the filler neck. Consequently, the oil cap now has nothing to hold it in place. Dorman needs to look at the quality control of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Everything OK
