oil filler cap

Post by Linda »

I wondered if any other oil caps were close to the stock one, mine was beat up. Actually, not even sure if my cap was stock or not. Anyway found one that worked with a slight modification. Part 8102 from Oreilley or Autozone, listed for 74 B210, $6

The part has to be slightly filed narrower to fit but otherwise, I like it.... Cap shown has been filed and fits nicely.

I recently bought 2 of these Stant caps, made in Japan for $1.63 each plus $3.99 shipping. Fit great. Nicely made.

No filing the tangs and an exact match for the original Nissan cap. Stickers not included.

Yes I found Rockauto for the 74 B210:
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nis ... r+cap,5269
The Stant looks to be a brushed finish while the other one Motorad is shiny. Some out of stock.
I think the Oreilley cap is the same manufacturer as the Motorad cap on Rockauto
The Stant cap, I believe, could not be delivered to CA because of some paperwork they did not send to Rockauto.....
In any case several to choose from if you know how to search.

The stickers are neat, but weren't originally on the cars.

I know, but I like the look, especially the black and white elephant sticker (elephant 2)
