would someone be able to do me a favour and measure the diameter of the bottom of an au 6cylinder oil cap? (the screw part)
also can anyone confirm if the screw part on au oil caps is a smaller diameter than e-series? or are they the same? |

To the best of my knowledge they are the same, just like the p/s caps are the same

Surely someone has an AU and an e-series in the driveway to swap caps around on. maybe the cruise on the weekend will answer the Q for sure

So could anyone just measure the diameter of the screw part of their oil cap on an AU falcon.... I think it is the same as e-series but I really need to know just o be certain!

Neb, I just measured my AUII oil cap with calipers from tip to tip on the threads on each side of the cap & its exactly 35mm. Hope the one you purchased is the same.
