The size of the crankcase cover gasket

ramiroflores · April 1, 2025, 02:56

Hi everyone, I want to change the oil on my MR2 roadster (ZZW30) but can't seem to find a definitive answer on the size of the crankcase cover gasket (I like to replace them every oil change). Does anyone know the size? Every site I visit seems to say something different so I'm very confused!

Crankcase?? There is no 'crankcase' cover gasket. Do you mean cam cover gasket, at the top of the engine? The cam cover gasket is good for at least five years.

Bearing in mind today's date I am wondering about the authenticity of this question!
Then again, it is said we are two Nations divided by the same language, so I am wondering if you are meaning the Oil Drain Plug Gasket/ Washer because that should be changed at every oil change.

Be aware a few car forums have been hit with AI generated bots that read like written by a human, but the text is often a bit nonsensical. They post once and disappear.

Or it is just April 1

Top up the indicator fluid while you're at it. And make sure the exhaust belt is still looking healthy.

Another fan of KaleCoAuto! You really need the synthetic blinker fluid

There being a time difference to NY and to allow for the OP's we may not know for sure if we have been "Fooled" until tomorrow.
Meanwhile, where is the best place to buy and what quantity of " synthetic blinker fluid" do I need ?

It's a two pack orange and clear.
