Weistic Billet Oil Filter Cap

if anyone purchased this billet oil filter cap from Weistec, double check your threads. I just got mine in the mail and the last thread on the cap is completely chewed up and has flakes of metal coming off. You don't want this going into your oil!

Unbelievable for what Weistec charges for this part -- AIR, about $250 ?

$180! and I only bought it because I just needed something to justify spending $30 to ship an o-ring for my Weistec transmission pan! I called and asked if it really made sense that it costs $30 to ship a $30 o-ring, and they said that's just how much it costs to ship.

I can use my commercial account to send an o-ring for less than $5.62 WITH insurance, so I don't even know how they are coming up with that number.

Does your billet cap have the drain plug?

Oh wow, I didn't have that issue with mine from several years ago.

Obvious QC issue. Hopefully they have a replacement and a return label ready for you.

Just wanted to follow-up that I did reach out to Weistec shortly after and they provided a prepaid return label, and sent me another cap that doesn't have any issues. Thanks Weistec!

Nice to know there are companies that still give a %&#@ about customer service, and that word of mouth advertising pays off more than glitzy magazine ads !

Nice, every company in existence will have issues at times. How they're handled is what's important. Nice to see Weistec is like this.
