Oil Filler Tube Removal??
I decided to order GM part 12609623 to make my oil change a little easier and the plan back fired. This morning I started the oil change and when I screwed the filler tube on, it locked in place I saw in another thread that someone else had this problem but didnt quite explain how they got it unlocked and removed. Anyone else had this problem and maybe have a video on how to remove it? Here is a picture and the link to the oil filler tube.

Did you try pushing in and turning it?

shine a flashlight into the opening and wiggle/stick a pick behind the tab, pry the tab inward and turn 12609623 CCW to remove.
It's a bit of a bother, but can be done good luck

Great idea that should work. the tab will be on the bottom and the gap you are looking for should be exactly 6 o’clock

Was able to get it removed. Thanks for the help, I ended up using a dentist tooth pick to grab onto the plastic tab and turn at the same time. I'm cutting off that tab right now with a dremel.

Holy Sh!t I got one of these filler tubes and haven't used it yet. I would be way pissed if it locked on me. I am stoked I stumbled on this post. Demel time, shave that bitch!!!
