If you don't know where the oil filler cap is, how are you ever going to find the drain plug, do you even own a toolbox? |

Good. Make sure you install the blinker fluid AFTER you fill the oil back in. If you do it before you will blow your muffler bearings. I have done it before.

| The oil goes in the silver, oval twist off cap located near the front of the engine bay. It usually says something like "high pressure, wait to cool." Good luck! |

| Just take off the 710 cap and put your oil in there.:blink: |

| Definately make sure you get a new O-ring seal, has to be done every time you check. |

Remember... Oil is a greenish clear liquid on rotaries.... You want to drain it from the oil cooler... It resembles a radiator on a normal car! Rotaries are weird that way.
Fill it up with oil again and change it the next time i goes a clearish green! |

Agreed, it may seem like an unbelievable question for car enthusiasts, but everyone has to start somewhere right?
An elitist attitude is not going to attract new people into the hobby & make the people that are in the hobby now look like assholes.
BTW the oil cap is next to the dipstick & the oil filter is on the driver's side rear. It is helpful to punch a hole in the top of the oil filter before you do everything else so that the oil drains out so when you take it off there won't be as much oil spillage.

And remember to check the oil level each time you get fuel. Rotaries pump oil into the combustion chamber for lubrication and therefore you burn a lot more oil than a piston engine would. Change it often, because any crap in the oil can make its way into the combustion chamber and decrease the engine life.
-Carry an extra quart of oil with you at all times in case you need it.
-Try and stay away from synthetic oils in a rotary, use a high quality mineral based one for a clean burn off. |

Forget these yahoos making fun of you, most of them have never been laid and drive shitty cars.
You need to look for the piston return spring camber adjustment plate by your radiator. It should be a bright yellow colour approximately 2" in diameter. There may be japanese writing on the cap, that depends if your car was built in Hong Kong or the states ... ANYWAY!, once you find that there should be a smaller 1" tapered congo filler line, that's what you need.
Good luck with the car! |

No auto enthusiast has ever gone with out a good ribbing, regardless if it was warranted or not.
For those who are offended with the replies 4 words. Suck it up Princess.
