yeah mine did that to me once it pi$$ed me off to no end because i was changing the oil already had it drained and click click click ssoooo i just took a large flat blade screwdriver and pryed the top part from the cap and unscrewed the threaded part. then i got a good idea and broke out the epoxy glue and glued the cap so it stays solid and dosent click at all it works great now and dosent feel as cheesy (just be careful not to over-thghten it) oh by the way mines a 98 rc v6
hope i helped

My 98 did the same thing. The stupid cap would get so tight I could hardly get it off. Then when you start unscrewing it, the thing would click and you'd end up busting your hand on something. lol Well maybe its not that bad... but i just went out and bought a aftermarket pretty one. It works great, no more busted hands.
