Has this ever happened to you?
I was checking my fluids one night, and as I opened my clutch master cylinder the little fucking cap dropped into my engine bay.

This is serious, as I really needed that little cap!

the only way to retrieve it was to......


TEAR SHIT APART!

As I was doing this, i noticed my air filter.


After hours and hours and hours and hours I finally found the cap.


I ended up changing my air filter and oil.
I used M1 0W-40 this time around.

You used a leaf blower or perhaps a vacuum cleaner on reverse.

Christ! All that for that stupid little cap? At least you did some needed maintenance, next time use some latex gloves butterfingers! keeps your hands clean and gives you a bit more grip.

You used the "cap" as excuse to start a new thread telling us that you changed your oil and air filter...

theres also the chance that the air intake couldve sucked up the cap he dropped and the turned it into an air intake cap which woulda blocked all the air being intaked by air intake and then his car wouldve had suffocated and then exploded while driving.
