I sometimes use channel locks on mine. Usually take some old oil and wipe the threads down though, that seems to help.

I like that it is and I just use the strap on my purse as a strap wrench works every time. I only hit things with my purse when I need a hammer. Right tool for the right job learn to use your purse properly guys and don't abuse your tool.

Ok I think I found out why the Cap was so Tight..The rubber ring on the top was bone dry.
So were the threads, I fixed that by...

Thanks for the oil cap removal tool linik/reminder Troy!
I also found that Snap On has an Oil Cap tool as well for 2000 & newer.

However, I don't think a tool will be required anymore....:cheers:
