First time changing my oil (dealership did it twice for free in two years) and while draining the oil, I removed the filler cap on top of the engine. There was steam or smoke coming out of the hole and that has me a little concerned. Changed oil on many vehicles before and have never seen this. Is this normal for the NX200T or is there potentially something wrong?

Same thing happened when I did my oil change. It's not a big deal if the engine was hot when you drained it. It's just oil smoking from the heat close the valve cover.

NO steam to come out, unless you have water trapped inside valve cover. I did oil change not so long ago - no steam. Or any vapor.

Stop looking around your engine. nothing to worry about.

Ohhh... But it's so pretty to look at.....
