i know it is very weird
i can't open the Engine oil filler cap. i turn it and it just didnt' come off.
i know i have to press it down and turn (o-clockwise).
**it just didn't come off**
is that any tricks that can make it easier to be opened
THX~

First of all, not even close to the right forum for this question.

Second, if the cap cannot be removed with hand power, go out, buy a new one, then remove the old one with vice grips/pipe wrench or anything that can give you a mechanical advantage.

Fixed.

Not a gas cap. No need to push in. Are you saying that you are spinning it around and it's not coming out or you can't get it to spin?

Lefty loosey - Righty tighty

I don't believe that you have to press down on the oil filler cap to loosen it. While tightening it by turning it clockwise, the cap will "break-away" so that it isn't overtightened.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.


For real. Give that a go. Dont be embarassed or afraid to ask any questions at all about your car. Make sure you check the "things we've seen before" forum and try to do a few searches before you post though.


I think anybody who works on their car should have a strap-wrench set. So handy.
