forgot to put oil cap back on
just wondering if anything could have damaged the motor. it still runs fine but i just noticed that i forgot to put it back on and have been driving it for about a week with it off. there is no oil in the engine bay that splashed out so i am thinking everything will be ok. please help i am stressing.

Did you check your oil level? How is it?
|
i was warming the car up just now and noticed it so the car being warm i checked the level and it was full and the oil guage in the car is showing right under the 60 mark
|
and some people complain because we don't write procedures on how to climb stairs safely... wow...
just to be sure; you have checked your gas cap? |
Everything should be fine... I'd change the oil though, in case any dust/dirt got into the oil.

That's the nice thing about these cars. Leave the oil cap off and there's no clean up. I did this on a Honda civic and it sprayed shit every where.

Yeah, did that once on a piston engine and didn't get far before smelling it. Quickly shut it off and popped the hood. Good thing burning oil on the exhaust allerted me, only lost a bit over a quart. Stupid piston engines anyhow.

Not a regular event
