| Feb 8, 2017 at 8:24 | comment | added | Florian Castellane | What would be the issue with spilling a bit of oil? as far as I know, it's not corrosive, and no responsible car manufacturer would put anything sensitive to motor oil right next to the oil refill (or even right by the engine, for that matter) | |

You have no emergency to prevent you locating whatever you need including a sheltered place to pour oil carefully. If you need, use a paper towel around the mouth of the opening to catch the drop or two or mop it up if you didn't. | |
