TerryHowe Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Does anyone happen to know if the earlier oil filler will fit on a later engine? I was at the junk yard the other day and there was a nice aluminum oil filler on an '89 1.8L and I was wondering if it would fit on my '99 Forester 2.5L.

I would rather have a Fram attached to my engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 The whole pipe or just the screw cap? I am fairly sure the cap will fit straight over. If you do get the entire pipe, make sure you replace the o-ring seal on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to replace the whole thing. If it is still there next trip to the yard, I'll grab it and try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Don't waste your time going back to the yard. The EA82 oil filler neck tube won't fit your car. It doesn't even bolt up the same. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinsUBARU Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Is there a gasket between the filler neck and the block? Anyone have the part number for a 95 2.2L Impreza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Is there a gasket between the filler neck and the block? Anyone have the part number for a 95 2.2L Impreza? On my 96 2.2L, if I remember well, the filler tube goes to the left (driver side) cam cover. Part of it (shorter part) is integral with the cover and the rest of the tube fits through a flange with a gasket and two bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 There is an o-ring on the pipe, no plan gasket between filler and rocker cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerFahrer Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Um no. Don't do it. I would rather have a Fram attached to my engine. Filler, not filter There is no possible way the EA oil filler will bolt up to an EJ. Not only is the bolt pattern wrong, but it's kinked in the wrong direction since it is on the other side of the engine. It will hit the A/C lines on your car.

TerryHowe Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Are there any other options out there for a different filler tube for my EJ25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
