Renault Clio oil filler cap removal

Car: Renault Clio
Variant: 1149 petrol engine oasis model
Model Year: 1996
Categories: Leaks & Noises

Hi
Iam unable to remove the oil cap, the oil cap is covered by a sleeve with elf wri
tten on it.
I have to prise up the sleeve to get access to the oil cap.
The cap is a wierd shape and it looks like you need a special tool to to move it.It looks like a circular rod sticking up with 3 slanted pieces running off the rod. These pieces are hollow, so it seems that you slide a tool down the circular rod.and this tool has three pieces attached to it that fit into the hollow slots on the oil cap,you then turn it to remove the oil cap.
Please does anyone have any idea of how i remove the oil cap. The car is a clio p reg ,1149 cc oasis model RL.

sounds very puzzling the cap should simply twist off, if you have a handbook have a quick look in there
