370z GAS CAP LOCK question !

Z11

does anyone have this product for their car, because i know with the OEM gas cap, you have to turn it until you hear 1 click to close it and if you dont make it click, your dash board will show it as not closed properly and yuor maintenance light goes on as well.

so i was wondering if anyone has this cap or a different one because i dont want the light coming on.

really why not just make it click and then you will know there will be no issues???? The click is there by design

What is your goal here? Are you looking for a cap that is easier to seal or a locking cap? (No real need for a locking cap as the fuel door locks already.)

He wants to use a locking cap, but doesn't know if they seal like the OEM ones when they click.

SouthArk370Z

Ah. Thanks for clarifying that.

At least I hope that's what he's wanting, lol. I had something like what you guys said typed up and then I re-read it and was like, "Hmm, maybe I am wrong for once."

haboob is right, i want the locking key cap, but i saw a video on youtube by nissan on fuel caps stating if it doesnt click it means you havent closed your cap properly and the maintenance light comes on the dash.

i bought my car brand new and the fuel door lock is malfunctioning, and im worried about the warranty, it says you have to do the maintenance checks every 3 months or by km, 3K-6K-9K intervals and so on. i doubt everyone does it every 3 months and ive only done it once since i bought it. and i dont do my checks at nissan b/c they rip you off and there fkn idiots from what ive noticed from my awful experience. so i dont know what theyll say about fixing it.

Z11

i havent bought the key lock cap because i dont want to waste 50$+ once i buy it and it doesnt work, thats why i wanted to see if anyone has one already

The dealer should replace it for free if it doesn't hold pressure

And Candian Tire should have a replacements too

FYI, regarding locking caps. If you do get it sorted, the door doesn't open when the car is locked (at least on mine, I assume on all), so no need for a locking cap really.

SouthArk370Z

Since the 370Z has a locking fuel door, I'm guessing very few owners buy locking gas caps and you're not going to get any first-hand opinions.

I'd call the store you want to buy from and ask them if it is a "factory-spec cap with the click."

If its warranty its warranty.... they cannot deny you warranty on your fuel door because you don't get your oil changes with them
