Oil fill cap
Does anyone else have a hard time getting their oil filler cap off? I have to use a pipe wrench to get mine off.

It is a pretty poor design. I always smear a touch of oil on the o-ring when I take mine iff, I can usually get it with a rag in my hand.

i never had that much trouble getting it off, but it is a nice firm seal iirc. id 2nd the oil on the o-ring, at the very least it cant hurt anything.

Seriously though, I have the same issue and have used channel locks to loosen it. I've learned to keep grease on the threads and not tighten it much.
