Why won’t my oil cap budge… anyone else had this?

Here’s a pic just to show what I’m talking about. I can’t get the oil cap off no matter how hard I try. It feels way too tight. Is there a trick to this or is it just stuck real bad?

You’re not missing anything… just need some arm strength.

Yeah, those filter housings can be super tight. Even if the O-ring was put on right with oil, the threads have a lot of grip and the ring adds resistance. Best bet is to get a solid grip and pull toward yourself. Hitting it doesn’t help much because it’s plastic and the resistance is just too strong.

I’ve also tried hitting it with a couple things

Give it a hit with your purse—uh, I mean pliers

Did you yell ‘I don’t know you’ while doing it?

You messed up cause you didn’t yell ‘get away from me!’ while hitting it. Just kidding. I just twist mine real hard and it works fine.

Funny thing is I’ve seen this same username post the same jokes on another forum :joy: What did the Sport do to you anyway?

@ReubenSparks
Yeah I use the same name everywhere—this forum, Tacomaworld, wherever. And nothing’s wrong with the Sport, I just said that cause the person who posted this is a woman. If that comment bugs you, maybe you’re feeling a bit defensive about your own Sport. No judgment here.
