Princess,
You need some muscle to do the job of unscrewing the cap. Go to a petrol station or a service shop and let them do it for you = ). If they want to sell you oil they will happily do it.
Whats happened is that the cap probably hasn't been undone for a while, and the rubber seal on it has gripped the aluminium cover on the engine. Wear some thickish gloves and use both hands and you'll probably free it off.
Then when you tighten it up again, just 'nip' it up, rather than tightening it as much as you can, to save the problem occurring again in the future..
The Twin Air has a ratchet oil cap/dipstick - didn't know if the other models were the same.. As you say, it's a good idea to save over tightening![]()
I don't think it's sexist. Why keep a dog and bark yourself is a phrase mum and I use. If a man is silly enough to fall for a woman batting eyelids and asking to do a dirty job then more fool him! Saves me getting my hands dirty or nails broken! I love acting pathetic and blonde, it's rather fun!!What a sexist comment!![]()

ahmett didn't say anything about it being a man who would help him/her. You're making assumptions.I do agree with what you're saying, but in this instance maybe princess wanted to know if there was a special nack to get the oilcap off and being told to go ask a man in a garage to do it for her is, in my opinion, sexist!

That would generate even more posting by those who like to be "outraged on behalf of others"What is Princess was a man?

True.Tbh I saw this at the very start and couldn't be bothered helping because I knew the reaction that it would get.
