    How the heck do I take off the plastic cover that is on top of the motor but under the oil spout, 2007 Pontiac grand prix gt

    Anyone know or have a video as to how to do this?

    Twist oil spout to left and remove it.

    Are you sure because it looks to be apart of a plastic valve covering bolted to the block underneath

    Ask yourself this, "how would I remove the front valve cover if I can't remove the engine cover?".

    Answer: You can remove the engine cover by twisting the oil spout to the left.

    Why ask the answer to a question you don't know, then question the answer someone gives you who has been on the forum for over 3 years?

    His answer is correct. Hell I figured out how to take the cover off in 5 seconds., and I did it without asking here.

    If you have to ask this question, please never open the hood again. Leave things to the professionals.

    No one pays attention to stickys, so its probably best to not sticky it, then the vast amount of knowledge in this thread will be more likely to be seen by hundreds, if not thousands.

    I figured it out without asking, so anyone should be able to. Some people just don't step back and access what they are trying to do.
