Wow thats funny
i temporarily plugged the uncapped oil hole with a sock and the sock got sucked into it after about 5 mins of driving
I could picture one of my friends calling me up saying something like that.

that is priceless... the last time i had an oil cap off of an M3, there was a deflector, much like a windage tray that would block any oil from spraying out through the uncapped filler
