Hmmm... the oil filter can work its way loose as well as the oil cap!!! I'll be keeping that in mind as well!!! Cheers.

you must have a left handed oil cap then!
every time i try to top my oil up, it's 10 times tighter than when i did it up last time!
every honda i've worked on has been the same - tight as a nut!

apart from the one time i did forget to put the cap back on completely. left on the skuttle tray.
went for a summer drive and giggled when i smelt oil thinking someone will be grinding to a holt due to lack of oil. a bit further up the road i hit traffic and the smell returned. the coin dropped and i dont remember refitting the oil cap

I have a right thumping session trying to get mine off sometimes.
