Q: How can I remove an oil tank vent cap?

Most oil tank vent caps can be easily unscrewed in an anticlockwise motion, usually. Occasionally, the caps may get stuck due to cold temperature drops or repeated long periods of disuse, which can lead to a build-up of burnt oil around the rims. Don’t fret if this happens – the best way to loosen a glued cap is to apply some chemical lubricant spray like WD40 and use a towel to grip it while it’s still cold and easier to manipulate.
