Re: [Chrysler300] Oil filler/breather cap on a G

["John Grady jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had same issue with kohler power plant . As mentioned , i found SS very coarse steel wool . Maybe on line ? Great stuff , gets some oil on it and grabs dirt . Similar to that used in old oil bath air cleaners .. And SS means no rust

Some time later I thought “hmm, maybe it didn’t come from the factory with the steel wool in it”. Can anyone tell me how he oil cap came that year, i.e. was it empty between the concentric cylinders of the cap? Thanks.
