the oil filler tube is not that hard to swap out assuming you can get to the clamp by the rear firewall/dipstick area. I think it is a spring clamp like all the others on the car and odds are the part you need to squeeze is on bottom and very difficult to reach. All I had at the time were pliers so I had a indie change it when they were researching some other things on the car. Get some spring clamp pliers if you can as they will probably make your life a lot easier.
