hi all,

this is just me doing some good deeds here in ZTH by telling all you guys a good lesson, learnt from my experience just few mins ago, here it goes.....

went to check my engine oil 2 hours ago, heck guess what!! i was shocked to see the engine oil squirting all over the upper engine part, damn! i thought something is seriously wrong, until i removed the engine oil cap, and to my surprise i saw the bottom metal part was actually almost broken!! thankgoodness the bottom metal part which is used to tighten the cap is not totally broken and fallen into the engine otherwise, god knows what serious problem it'll cause.....anyway i was using a fake rallyart engine oil cap looks nice but the quality sux and potentially hazardous!!!

now using back my old trustworthy engine oil cap....

so guys, don ever ever use an imitation product to ur lovely engine!!

on a 2nd thought, i think this oil cap fails prematurely coz my engine temp is very hot!! so this stupid thing can't withstand the extreme heat for turbo engines....
