I was going to add a quart to the 96 Concorde 3.5 V6 and couldn't open the cap...it just clicks when turned in both directions. Surely I can't be the only one this has happened to so...is there a preferred way to get the old one off so a new one can be put on, preferably without breaking it so that pieces don't fall into the engine? Thanks in advance.
Get a large set of water pump pliers squeeze tight jamming the top hand wheel, replace with a new one.
The center part of the oil cap will pop off , remove it and use a pair of channel locks to remove the rest of the cap
And quit calling us Shirley! :)

Ours does this when the engine is hot if tightened too much. Let it cool and try again or follow other's advice.
