Ok, I'll try to explain this the best I can......
I want to purchase a FC billet oil cap and I got a 2001. The late 2001 models have a 1/4 turn oil cap and the earlier ones have something else (1/2 turn?). Anyway the FC billet oil caps work for the late 2001 models and up (Zetec Engine).
I went outside and popped the hood. I untwisted my oil cap and if you can imagine a clockface, when the cap is undone, imagine the one edge at about 4 oclock. When I tighten it down, that same edge goes to the 9 oclock position. I'll get some digital pics up if I have to later today.
Anyway, another example, a 1/4 turn is 90 degrees. Mine is slightly more then 90 degrees, maybe 110 so it's more then a 1/4 turn.
---------------------------------------
What I am asking is for you guys that have a 2002 or up ZETEC, can you please go out to your car and see how your oil cap changes and report back to me. I want to purchase these today. I am curious as to how the 2002 up ones 'screw on' cause if it's the same as mine, then I am good to go to purchase the caps. If they twist differently then I can't buy them. Hopefully this all makes sense.
Thanks in advance........
