Don't set it on the battery when adding oil.
The acid eats holes in the plastic cap.

Sounds reasonable, but why does it end up looking like claw marks? At least that's how mine looked.

If only that battery wasn't so large, flat, and convenient of a spot to lay the cap.

Sounds logical Dan, I thought it was from the heat or cycles of temps. I sure been guilty of the battery therory.

You can get a standard screw in cap from autozoo if you dont want the bling one, or the stock one. I got the one from auto zone for like $3 when I made my second ccv vent.
