      Smile Gas Cap - which is best?

      I'm not sure where I should post my general question but I wanted to know about something everyone uses.

      Gas Caps.

      Which is the best replacement for one that is starting the not working dance. I get the check engine light after putting gas sometimes or at random. I am more than certain it is from the gas cap wearing out.

      Is the best replacement a OEM cap or an aftermarket one found in places like Autozone?

      I would greatly appreciate every bodies opinions and experiences. Thanks.

      Get the OEM. These things can be temperamental. I actually had my '04s replaced under warranty. Chevy had extended the warranty to 10 years with a tsb.

      I would probably feel more comfortable with a OEM part. I just want to spend the money on the right part that will solve problems and not cause them.

      Thanks for your info.

      OEM I agree. I have been using the cheapo from Advance Auto for the truck and it's very unsatisfying mostly because I can't put together with the tether.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      Depending on what year Aveo you have it's probably only about $10 shipped from Rockauto.

      Thanks for the info PosionIvy. You're right but those caps aren't OEM, but replica. Good brands though. I'll keep them in mind.
