  • A month ago, and just now noticed this? Do you drive really slow or something. I doubt you’ll be able to convince the dealer to take ownership of the cap a month after the oil change.

    Honestly, I can’t beleive the dealer left the cap off, and a month later you noticed it. I’ve done this to myself and the error was immediate since the oil spewed out of the filler hole and onto my exhaust.

    Now there is a chance they did not tighten the cap, which is unfortunate, but still getting them to admit anything after a month is very unlikely. As for any damage, that’s a crap shoot. Refill, have someone else buy a new OEM cap for you (in case you end up having to do a engine fail swap on the car companies dime), and see if you have any new sounds coming from the engine. You’ll be better staying quit in case there is damage to place a warrantee claim later. Not the best solution, but reasonable given the situation.
