Oil Filler cap thingy ! (The attachment to the oil cap )

[ti]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone removed the oil cap extension filler ( I have no idea what its called )

When i was topping up my oil the other day it kind of just came off with the oil cap, and seems very flimsy and not tight! Ive seen pictures of cars running without one ( oil cap sits flush without engine cover on)

Is it just a matter of removing it or is there something that needs to be purchased?

Sorry if this is a dumb question ! ( Ive also searched to no avail)

Thanks

Tony

You can run with out, no mods needed. Cap just goes straight onto the rocker cover. I'd check nothing has broken off the filler neck and potentially dropped into the engine, mine was really tight and stiff to get off.
