Have 2.4 liter engine. Does anyone know if you can remove the oil filler extension after doing away with the plastic engine cover??? And then can you screw the cap into the valve cover without the extension? The cap looks stupid siting up so high off the valve cover.

 

you can remove it but I belive you need a different oil cap

 

Yes it comes off. OEM oil cap fits right on valve cover!

 

You can remove it and the oil cap will fit fine.

EDIT: Damn I'm slow...lol

 

ok Im wrong, but this helps me to cuz I didn't know ither

 

Don't try to twist it off -- just pull up and forward (towards the front of the car). It has the notch just like the oil cap but it has a lock that prevents it from being twisted off.

 

Thank You all for the info. I suspected the cap would fit the valve cover, but couldn't get the extension off.

 

does this work the same way for the 2.2L?

 

Yeah
