Anyone ever have this problem? I know I didn't over-tighten the oil cap (it clicks), but last time I changed the oil it started clicking while turning left now it spins freely. anyone have any suggestions?

Funny you mention this.... Mine did the same thing last Friday. The top of the cap eventually snapped off. No big deal, as it was just attached to 2 cheap-o plastic dogs which would ratchet inside the main body of the cap. I was able to put some channel locks around the outside lip of the cap and get it off with no issues (no crap falling into the valve cover). I called my local dealership, and got a replacement for $9.50. But now I'm thinking maybe it's time for a fancy billet cap which won't snap off after 4 years/56K miles.

Mine did the same thing. I had to remove the bottom part with channel locks. Is the only place to get a new one at the dealership? I really dont want to pay for the same old crap that will have to be replaced again in a couple years. Seems like everything is made so cheap nowadays.
They cant even get a 710 cap right! It you have ever worked at a parts store you will know what a 710 cap is. On more than one occasion someone has walked in looking for one. I had to go look and see that they were reading OIL upside down.
