well now that the 9 is out mazda or someone can make a kit for the old ones
we can buy the new cover from the dealer
what you think???

new engine cover doesn't magically change the location of your dipstick.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

duh !!!!! the cover we can buy it from the dealer bud someone can make an upgrade kit for the oil dip stick

read next time!!!

calm down, mysql has obviously been inhaling too much unburnt exhaust fumes

:lol: :lol: :lol:

you were talking about buying a new cover from the dealer. That's why I said it wouldn't work. Good job on the post edit.

mysql the title of the thread says it
and after that i refer to the cover before someone say oh!you can get the cover from the dealer

What do u mean the 9 is out ?

and you CANNOT mod the dip stick. the R3 RX-8 comes with a slightly different engine than the one we have. thats why the dip stick location has changed.

different engine??? is a 13b !!! only diferen is 1 more oil injector !!
i'm going to the dealer to check the diference maybe i can get some some prices in the parts for it
i think is a longer dipstick and a longer pipe that goes to the engine ???
probably is 2 pices that we need for it??

Aftermarket of course, with neon, and NOS of course. Or just save the money and stay stock. Seriously I love the look of your engine.

hey why not bud no neon ok only leds !!:lol: :lol: :lol:

AKAIK, it's not just the R3 that has the engine improvements but all of the '09s. Oder?

horrible no0b qustion, but where is the dip stick? I looked and couldnt find mine

^^ WOW um yea you might want to check your owners manual? I think youre suposed to filll the oil every once in a while.:uhh: :lol:

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :icon_no2: :icon_no2: :icon_no2: that is not even funny man!!!! i wanna cry!!!

Nope, only 09 and later has the update.

That's what I was sayin' but not just the '09 R3 but all the '09s.

I don't mean to offend anyone by any means, but this thread fails. Sorry. It just does. What a joke. Seriously.

I don't even know what to say...I mean hell it's bright yellow, sell your car get a bike, good pair of shoes or a bus pass, you shouldn't be allowed around cars.

That is a pretty bad one. If it makes you feel any better I've had to point it out when I used to get my oil changed at Lube Stop.

Take off your engine cover and it's to the right of the yellow oil cap. Down below where the engine sits. It's a pain in the arse. You have to reach in pretty far so make sure your engine is cool.

Here's a pic of the '09 with a focus on the new dipstick in some of the pics but the location is basically the same as 04-08s - it's just harder to get to because it's closer to the ground.

Feel free to read this after you've found your dipstick and if you find it and there is a milky substance on it you're fine.
