Oil Filler Stuck When Hot
The oil filler cannot be removed when the engine is hot. Would like to take it for an oil change without waiting for it to cool at the garage.
Is there a universal oil filler cap, like universal petrol caps?

Why not loosen it a bit when it's cold before you go?

Maybe try cleaning up the seals?
Take it off when the engine is cold, then thoroughly clean the both the underside of the cap and the filler hole, and wipe some fresh oil on both before screwing the cap back on.
