Have both too, mostly for engine dressup. The oil cap is a PITA to remove when engine is warm!!!

hmmm, so i think it maybe a good idea to buy the chrome oil cap for car show purposes only.... I can just hear my stealership now,

"your warranty is void because your oil is too hot due to the chrome oil cap."

they always find a way out of the warranty....

I have the oil cap. I dont think it affects anything. The one I have is just mounted to a plastic cap.
