What happens if oil filter cap is loose?
Neither your oil filter, or the fill cap need to be loose, the filter should be screwed on as tight as you can get it by hand only, and the fill cap should fit snugly so it does not come off. If the oil filter is loose or too tight you can blow out the seal which will cause you lose all your oil.

Why car idles rough after oil change?
Make sure the oil-filler cap is properly installed. Some engines rely on engine crankcase perssure in order to run properly. If the cap is loose or improperly installes, this pressure may drop or not allow for the proper venting of crankcase pressures. You may also have PCV valve issues as well. Start with the filler cap and go from there.

How do you change the oil in a Nissan primera?
Open the oil cap in the engine bay, jack the car up and on the oil pan theres a bolt, undo the bolt and the oil will drain, when its finished draining screw the bolt in make sure it is tight, put the car on the ground, change the oil filter, then pour the new oil into the oil cap hole, put the cap back on and your done. Make sure you don't put to much oil in, i think the recommended amount is 4-5l, check your cars manual to make sure.
What will happen if the car engine oil fill cap is unlocked?
I have never seen a locking oil cap. If you mean that it is loose or off, then you might get oil splatter all over your engine compartment. No big deal, as long as the oil level never got too low. Check the oil level, clean everything up and rest easy. No damage done.
