Default Mobil 1 oil filler cap

I know, there's been several threads about this but I bought the caps to be sure and this is my findings so bear with me. I'm gonna post it.
I have a 2014 Z51, so I can't help with the non dry sump models.
In the first four pictures the left cap is the stock Z51 cap, the center cap is FC215 12583570, the right cap (still in bag) is FC221 12593356.
Both are identical to the stock cap except they both say "Mobil 1". FC215 has a blue rubber gasket just like the stock cap (It's shinier than the stock cap cause I lubed it for installation). FC221 has a gray rubber gasket. Either one will fit. Hope this helps someone.

I'm heading down to Mardi Gras in Mobile, AL on Feb 6 and the first Z51 C7 I meet is going to get the FC221 handed to them.

I'll let you know in two days, but I'm betting it's just because that cap is listed for the C5 and isn't original equipment on the C7.

You can get it for less money on eBAY. Total including shipping is $18.61
Just do a search with the FC215 part # 12583570

I'll add my $.02. Just received one from a Chev dealer on Ebay for my 2014 Z51. The bag carries an ACD#FC215 and a GM#12583570. Fits like a charm. Ordered for a 2013 Grand Sport w/dry sump. Mine cost me $18.32 w/free shipping.

Thanks grandpawmoses, for getting the "real info" for us.

ArcticC7, NO, these will NOT fit a non-Z51.

We have yet to find out what part number WILL fit the non-Z51.
