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
 Ray

Re: Oil caps?
Are you talking about that 710 part???
 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.Lee

Re: Oil caps?
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... Oil Cap

Re: Oil caps?
Thanks Mike, I think that Prodrive one might work.

Re: Oil caps?
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?
Holy ****! Those Prodrive caps on ebay run $50-$65!!
 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.

Re: Oil caps?
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. ,

Re: Oil caps?
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.
