Since my stock oil cap has gotten stuck a few times, I am looking to replace it and spruce up the engine bay at the same time. Can anyone tell me if the nismo v2 oil filler cap will work on our 7th gen maximas, or if the cap from stillen will work?

 

I don't know about the Nismo cap I suspect it will though. I have a red aluminum Stillen one and I've used it on my 03 Maxima, my 10 Murano and now my 10 Maxima. It does occasionally get stuck and I have to remove it with my pliers. I may go back to my oem black cap since I don't take the Maxima to car shows anymore.

 

I mainly want to get a different cap since barely tightening the stock cap always seems to make it get stuck, it's not like I am using Superman torque to tighten the cap. I like the idea that the nismo cap is a rathceting style, so hopefully that will prevent it from getting too tight. Do you have any problems threading the stillen, or do it fit like oem?

 

its not the cap its the oring for the cap that fails once it get to dry it sticks then you need the jaws of life to open the cap

 

I have considered putting a stillen oil cap, but I asked myself, what's the point spending a dough on it, when there's nothing to see when the hood is closed, right? So a basic oil cap is just fine for me.
