I did an oil change yesterday and after doing a final top up last night, seemingly forgot to replace the cap.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What, if any, damage would be done after driving ~ 40 miles without my oil filler cap on? What symptoms would I expect? I did an oil change yesterday and after doing a final top up last night, seemingly forgot to replace the cap. Check engine(steady) came on along with a rough slightly high idle. When I checked the engine bay the cap was exactly where I left it despite 40 miles if driving. No sign if oil spillage. Sent from my iPhone using Rennlist

POST 2Original post

I did that in my 2005 Boxster, check engine light came on had to cancel with Durametric.

POST 4Original post

LOL, did that on my car for 1/2 day ended up with a CEL but other than that and feeling stupid no harm no foul.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Definitely got the feeling stupid part 😱 Sent from my iPhone using Rennlist

POST 6Original post

If this happened on a regular car, it's gonna make a huge mess in the engine bay. We're lucky to have a long oil filler tube

POST 7Original post

In my experience, the car will idle very rough.

POST 8Original post

Nothing will happen. Engine gets extra vacuum through the oil filler hole. Any cap that covers the hole will stop the CEL and get your car to idle normally until you get the replacement cap.

POST 9Original post

It actually reduces your engine vacuum, you just created a massive vacuum leak. Won't hurt anything though, except your pride.
