Im bidding on a Greddy oil cap on ebay, Im in the process of spiffing up the engine bay. Anyways, this oil cap was listed under RX8 but as I read on further, it came off of a 1995 Miata , is this truthful that this oil cap will fit on my 04 RX8?? Hopefully so, because Im about to win it........

BTW- I posted this in exterior appearance forum but no one answered so sorry for the double post.

Any input from the Miata guys here would be appreciated, thanks.

 

I think it will fit - BTW; you can make your own oil catch can for like 40 bucks...

See?

 

Get one of the new 710 caps.

Thanks for the help Kane; 1.3, not sure why youre recommending another cap, I already purchased one and was asking if it would fit, but thanks anyways for trying to help

 

Is that a metal oil cap? Not sure I'd want that, might get kinda warm.

 

oh really how?

 

yea its metal, I hate that damn yellow cap

 

Do you want it in black or blue? - Blue=Lowes and Black=Home Depot

Get a air water seperator for an air compressor; 2 3/8 npt barb fittings; hihg temp nylon line and a few hose clamps - and viola; an oil catch can which includes Drain Plug which the greddy does not have

 

What is an oil catch can, anyway?

 

Stops oil vapor (crankcase vent) from going back into your intake.

 

^ a can that catches oil.. put simply.

 

damn you kane!

 

I hate when that happens.

 

The 710 thing is just a joke, actually. It's just a regular oil cap, turned upside down. Oh well, I thought it was funny.

-1.3L

 

I had a miata (97) for a 4 years. but to be honest with you, i would think it would fit. because alot of japanese companies like to try to use same parts for all their cars. but sadly, i didnt see if my oil cap fitted on the 8 when i had my miata. sorry tc, i hope someone is able to answer your question.

trying to think waht miata forum i use to go to. lots of them had rx8 also there. if i remember , il post link. might can find answer there. wish i remembered the site

 

I have a 99 1.8 miata out front... lemme check if the cap will work.

 

It fits, in fact the stock miata unit looks much better imo...



bad pic, but its the same design as our stock caps but its black and doesn't have the oil weight on it.

 

I'll probably just spray paint mine... blue would look good

 

lol, well it doesnt matter at this point, I didnt win it anyways; got outbidded last minute.

 

I would just spray paint yours if you don't like the yellow sand it down and put a few coats on it and you shold run into no problem (prob should use high temp paint)
