Oil Filler
The difference between the cheap and the expensive oil painting stuff
One of the types of paint that you see when you make your first purchase is student-grade paints. Student-grade paints have a higher proportion of oil to pigment than professional- or artist-grade paints. The cost is lower, which allows you to do some serious experimentation without worrying that your tube of paint costs as much as a dinner at a nice restaurant!
Some manufacturers may add fillers to the paints, especially student-grade paints. These fillers shouldn't affect the way the paint behaves as you use it. Fillers aren't necessarily a bad thing. They're also used for pigments that have tremendous tinting strength to make the paint more workable for the artist. Fillers primarily affect the brilliance of the paint, but you generally don't notice it until you have more experience with color or until you compare swatches of the student and professional grades side by side.
Another way that the manufacturer can make inexpensive student-grade paints is to use substitute pigments. These colors have the word "hue" in the pigment name. Some examples of hue colors are cadmium red light hue and cerulean hue. These colors are identical to the originals in hue, but they may not be quite as bright or opaque. Until you work with the original and the substitute, you may not notice the difference.
You may also see colors such as Naples yellow hue and lead white hue, which manufacturers made because the original versions are highly toxic. Again, the hues behave in much the same way as the originals with regard to tinting strength, opacity (hiding power), and so forth. Their color is almost impossible to detect as a substitute unless you're an expert.
Occasionally when you first open a new tube of paint, a lot of oil comes out of the tube, separated from the pigment. This is just linseed oil that has settled out of the paint. Put the lid back on and knead the tube just a little to mix the paint and oil back together again. If a lot of oil comes out of the tube, it's up to you whether to use it or take it back to the store.
Student-grade is great when you're just starting out. You can go through as much of the cheap stuff as you like and switch to the better pigments and grades after you hone your skills.

I removed my oil filler cap while the car was running and it almost died, why?
Its an 84 bmw 633 csi. Car was running, i removed the oil filler cap (dont know why i did that) and it started hesitating. I quickly put the cap back on.
because you created a huge vacuum leak.
