Oil caps?
 

Do all subaru's use the same size oil cap? Or is there a model that shares the same size cap as the SVX? I'm thinking about getting a nice chrome billet cap for the engine but seeing as they don't sell one for the SVX I'm wondering if i can buy one for another model that will work on the SVX. Anyone know? Thanks :)

Are you talking about that 710 part??? :p:) Actually I bought a billet aluminum silver one off ebay for mine. They had other colors also. I haven't looked lately, but I bet still available.

Not sure what you mean by 710 part. I was actually looking at ebay, but specifically i just wanted one with an autobot symbol on it lol. To go with my new autobot hood emblem. Can you give me a link or something to that 710 one that fit the SVX? Maybe I could take an emblem, and put it on that one.

This is sorta what I had in mind...

............someone should give him more info on the 710 cap, i think you should go with that instead ~

I bought a matching Prodrive cap and battery tie down marketed for the WRX/Sti and it works/fits/looks great!

Re: Oil caps?
 

prodrive - good choice

DOH!
 

lol....710, OIL....I dont' know why i didn't get that lol. What can I say, i haven't had any coffee yet.

Soooo, at any rate, does anyone know if the other suby models share the same cap size as the SVX?

Thanks Mike, I think that Prodrive one might work.

so you going to bail on the transformers one?

it actually looks kind of neat ~


i didn't want to say anything...i guess i remembered a thread that was here on the network of a woman going to a shop and telling them she's missing the 710 cap.

Re: Oil caps?
 

Nah, i'm not bailing on it, i'm just going to get one of the small aluminum autobot symbols they are selling on ebay and put on the gold prodrive cap. That ought to suit my purposes just fine :D

Re: Oil caps?
 

Holy ****! Those Prodrive caps on ebay run $50-$65!! :eek:

Guess I've never priced oil caps before...

So I'm guessing the $10 billet aluminum variety are not a good bet for your SVX vs. stock?

Or are you really just paying 5X as much for the Prodrive branding?

Re: Oil caps?
 

Personally, the Subaru Justy's got the best one, It says Subaru on it. It fits the SVX. There all the same. Can't find pictures any where tho.

Here is the one I have from Orthodox Racing


Website is HERE

The nice thing about this one is the open spaces inbetween (they are not black stripes). It is comprised of 4 stacked plates. Acts as a heat sink to keep the cap cool to the touch.

I haven't verified this information, but I was told all Subaru oil caps are the same, so if this is the case, you have all these choices.
