Not the case with the 1989 100 q I recently parted with. Take the cap off,
the car quits. Of course, I only know this because I put some oil in and
didn't fully tighten the cap! Ooops! ;-) Car started stalling, and I
couldn't figure it out. Cap needed to be fully tightened, even partially
tightened wouldn't work. A bit of experimentation with the cap while the car
was running led me to always double-check it post oil changes.
