Well I was out tinkering under the hood today and was checking my oil. I looked up and noticed that my oil filler cap was missing. I must have forgotten to put it back on during the last oil change, laid it under the hood somewhere, and it fell out while driving. Luckily I havent driven the car much since the last oil change. Anyhow, my question is, are the threads universal for most vehicles on these caps. Reason I ask is the local parts store has a few filler caps, those ricer aluminum ones, just curious if they would work for now?

 

I believe that the aftermarket ones will work. Any chance you can get to a junk yard and pull one from a mazda? I imagine that any cap from a mazda would work (626,929, miata, etc).

 

I used a cap from a '89 Mazda 323 (fits perfectly) for about a year before loosing my mind and buying a Mazdaspeed cap.

 

any local parts store should have them. i had to get one and it was like $4 from autobone. or get the super blingin' ebay "mazdaspeed" ripoffs and just take the sticker off.

 

LOLOLOL, autobone. That's funny.

 

I had my oil filler cap come OFF during driving, I must not have tightened it really good or something....anyway, get this: It lodged under my throttle actuator, and the engine wanted to run about 4500 rpm! Freaked me out, for sure.

 

Thanks guys, Im headed to Advanced Auto in a minute to see what I can find. Then off to the track for the first time to see what kinda 1/4 times I can lay down.

 

Picked up the cap at Advanced Auto for about 3 bucks. Cant beat that.

 

I'm thinking about getting one of these and having it stripped and re-anodized gold to match my other underhood accents.
