is it safe to drive 30-40 miles with duct tape over the oil filler cap, or maybe napkins taped over it.

I'd consider it decent.

I've had my OEM oil cap mysteriously screw it's self out twice. The second time I couldn't find the cap anymore. I went to Autozone and bought one for temporally fix. I ended up keeping the Autozone one and haven't had a problem a year now.
for that problem, there was a thread that if you reverse the rubber ring between the cap and hole, it will come off. try to search for it.

dear macguyver, i have a honda s2000. the oil cap is lost. i have enclosed a drinking straw, a paper clip, and a rubber band. please help.


just kidding


hope you got it figured out.

i would try taping something solid to it, instead of a sock. like, cut a butter lid or something.
