if i do PETG it would likely be 80-90% infill.
i had a PLA cupholder in my 996 that i printed and it survived a whole california summer being parked outside with untinted windows. PLA has a far lower melting point than PETG does.
PETG is a bit more flexible than PLA which is why it may seem to deform more easily especially it's relatively thin in structure or isnt nearly solid. Interior parts also resort to A LOT more heat than people think.. far more than IATs. This plug being in the intake will have constant air flowing near and around it which should keep it safe.
I think a few companies even offer PETG fluid cap sets(brake fluid reservoir cap, clutch fluid reservoir cap and Washer fluid cap) that have been tested and proven for a few years now
