It doesn't help that there is no locking mechanism on the retaining bolt... Even a reverse thread might improve matters... Say tighten the bolt to 60 nm with a lefthand thread, then tighten the cap to 15 nm on a righthand thread. That way if the cap sticks then you'll only tighten the body

Spin on conversion is the way forward though

IYHO Mr Al

I think the canisters are the way to go. Just don't tell Gixer, or he'll be on about FLs being superior blah blah blah.

Lol I won't tell if you don't...

Oh don't start, I'm confused as to which is which already.

The only reason for a spin on, is to stop the threads sticking on long oil change intervals. But as said, you've still got to remove the cap anyway. Once its off, no problem.

But given us oofers are mostly on a 5k interval, its pointless. 7k still pointless. Getting on for 10k ( ) does start get sticky by then. I Imagine 15-20k is asking for trouble.

Can't think anyone here would leave it that long.....

I oil change all my Omega's at 6 months or 5K which ever comes first, at less than £20 with trade club oil and Vauxhall filter it's mad not to
