Will R1 strut bar interfere with oil changes
 
I have a 1993 Touring and I was interested in adding a Mazda R1 strut bar. I see it would go right over the oil cap. Would I really have to remove the strut bar for every oil change? Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks,
Drew

There is no interference. You will not need to remove the strut bar to change your oil.

If I put an aftermarket oil cap on would you be able to see it or is it obstructed by the strut bar?

Thanks,
Drew

It gets close with the oil fill cap, as the bar DOES come over the top of it at the edge, but you have about an inch and a half underneath it that JUST allows you to get the fill cap off. :nod:
