Description

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically connects the oil filler cap – where you actually pour the oil in – to the engine’s oil pan. It’s a tube, essentially, but it’s not just a simple pipe. It often has a built – in baffle or strainer, sort of like a mesh screen, inside to catch anything that might accidentally fall in when you’re adding oil, preventing it from getting into the engine. Sometimes it also incorporates the oil dipstick tube. Think of it as the entryway for your engine's lifeblood. When you add oil, it travels through this neck directly into where it needs to go. It ensures a clean and directed flow of oil. It’s a pretty simple part, but a critical one.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this gets cracked, broken, or severely rusted, you’re going to have oil leaks. That’s bad news – oil leaking onto hot engine parts is a fire hazard, and of course, low oil levels mean engine damage. You’ll notice if it's failing because you’ll see oil on the engine, or potentially smell burning oil. It acts like a shield, keeping dirt and debris out of your engine’s oil system. A damaged filler neck can let contaminants in. You can find replacements pretty easily, even online at places like Fixparts Online. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and it can save you a lot of headache and expensive repairs down the road.
