Attempting to remove the cap, drain the oil or coolant, or replace the filters may lead to serious burns. Always wait for the temperature to go down, and follow the specified procedures when carrying out these operations. To prevent hot water from spurting out: 1) Turn engine off. 2) Allow coolant to cool. 3) Slowly loosen cap to relieve pressure before removing.
