Re: Cannot unscrew oil filler cap!

Try slipping a longish pipe over an adjustable crescent wrench (you can still do the towel thing to avoid scratches.) I suspect the thing wasn't properly threaded or someone got a little crazy and torqued it down.

Should be lefty (counter clockwise) if I remember correctly.

With the long pipe you can apply a tremendous amount of force but in a very controlled increment. Much easier on the knuckles if it slips.
