Mobile 1 labeled oil filler cap

I switched to Mobile 1 5W30 when my '03 L recently reached 3000+ miles. I wanted an oil filler cap that was factory labeled Mobile 1 . Anyway, found a guy on eBAY selling them. Bought one and took a very small sticker to change the 10 to a 5 on the 10W30 Mobile 1 cap. Looks very good. Oh, I also used the stock oil filler cap gasket on the unit I bought on eBAY as it comes without a gasket. Have logged over 700 miles with the new cap and no leakage, etc.. Here is the link to the guy selling the caps.
Email him from there and tell him you want a cap versus bidding up the eBAY bid for same is my suggestion..

Mobil 1 makes 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30, 10W-30, 5W-20 (very hard to find though... it has a grey cap), 15W-50, . 5W-20 is the hardest to find, I've been looking since december and have only found it once at a Wal-Mart. Nice filler cap by the way. What exactly did you have to do to make it say "5W-30" on the cap? I would like to have one of those.

I used a small/tiny, thin #5 vinylized sticker I found somewhere and just stuck it over the 10 so now the cap reads 5W-30 . Funny, unless you look real close you do not even realize the #5 is a sticker.

I find Mobile 1 5W30 at Walmart quite often. You can get it in 5 qt. bulk bottles or 6 qt. bottles in a cardboard carrier. Walmart's price for Mobile 1 is usually quite good.
