Weird car thing

So Bridgit has been complaining of an oil smell when she stops in the Caviler. I drove it today and noticed the same thing. I opened the hood expecting a leak and instead the oil fill cap was just gone, vanished. I swear I put it back when I changed the oil last. The smell has only been for a month or so….weird.

Auto Jerks has a replacement thats pretty cheap so I will pick one up tomorrow, and do oil changes.

On a side note I have been using synthetic oil in the cars because it is better for them, and I can go way longer between changes. Less changes means the oil ends up being cheaper (even though the oil is more expensive per QT) and its also better for the environment. I have been doing about 10k miles between changes instead of the standard 3k. Some say you can go up to 50k with synthetic.
