Icon2 Oil cap pop off??????

Just checking if anyone lost their oil cap while driving? Not sure if the cap was loose or just popped off? Been over a month since I changed the oil and touch the cap. Thanks

User error, either you or the last person that checked/changed the oil.

A little OT, but the oil cap on my Grand cherokee has to be the worst design in the world. It regularly breaks in a way so that when you go to unscrew it, the top spins free of the threaded part and it just clicks like a child saftey cap on a bottle of pills. I have to break the top off and then use pliers to spin the threaded part out. However, if you need oil and don't have a set of pliers- your F'd! Dumbest thing in the world. After the second one broke, I found a cheap replacement that didn't have this stupid design. /rant
