Why do you want to remove the oil cap when the engine is running, Sifa?

So you prefer to top up the oil with the engine running?

Everything is all good now replaced my PCV Valve and now it’s running better and oil cap is easier to open while engine was running. I was trying a theory I found on the internet where if your oil cap is sucking a lot of air and idles rough then your PCV Valve is broken or clogged so I tried it, replaced the PCV Valve and it worked.
