Default Oil Cap

I was wondering if any one else has problems getting there oil cap off after the truck warms up. I was going to do an oil change but the oil cap won't release, except when the engine has completely cooled like over night.

Any solutions to this, I thought about going to get a universal one from the part store.

Get yourself a nice long breaker bar. Works everytime. If you don't have one handy you can put a peice of pipe over a ratchet to give you more leverage.

Let me refrase my question. The cap turns and clicks when the engine is hot, almost like a safety thing, but in the morning or before I start it, the cap comes off no problem.
