Dry Sump Fill Cap Stuck
Changing the oil and cannot get the fill cap removed. I turned it about 180 degrees and would have to force it to turn further. Is the cap fully threaded on or do you feel for a detent and tug off? Silly question but don't want to have to replace it.

After 180 degrees, you are at the detent and it should now come off. Might need to wiggle it a little. There is an o-ring underneath the cap to seal and it must be a little balky. It is not fully threaded.

Thanks for all your help
Cap removed. This is my first oil change with a dry sump system but it's still pretty straight forward. I have the car up on Race Ramps up front and roll ups at the rear. The front ramps are the 67", two piece and I am using the Xtenders as well. I highly recommend these products. The rear ramps allow me clearance to roll my floor jack with cross beam adaptor in place to the desired chassis support location. I like to jack up the rear so it's level with the front allowing better oil drainage.
