HoarseWhisperer (you should change your handle - it's too difficult to type - my fingers are sore) and bogdonj - do you have any concerns about small pieces of stainless steel from the pot scrubber in the cap getting into the oil in the pan?

Dick, does this mean I can follow you on tours now, without using my windshield wiper?

Here's a photo of the "stuff" inside my oil filler cap that's been there since I purchased the Roadster, four years ago.

It appears rather coarse; like a mini-slinky. Never saw any of it in the pan. The oil filler baffles are positioned correctly and my engine compartment stays clean.
