    I've never had a problem removing it in the past. But today, it just won't budge! Is there a nifty trick like warming up the engine to remove a stuck oil filler cap that I can employ on this?

    Thanks,

    Manny

    Lefty loosey.

    Put a rag over it (to protect it from scratches) and grab it with a channelock pliers.

    I'm sure you know this but just in case, never remove the cap when the car is warmed up.

    Cheers,

    Keith
