EMPI Billet Low-Profile Oil Filler — Polished 6061 with Smooth Vented Cap
Achieve a clean, minimalist look in your engine compartment with the Billet Low-Profile Oil Filler. This modern redesign features a sleek, smooth body and a low-profile cap that sits tighter to the engine for better clearance. Machined from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum and polished to a show-car shine, it is a high-end alternative to bulky stock fillers. The cap keeps a smooth aesthetic while adding a knurled cross-groove edge for a solid grip even when hands are oily or wet.
The filler is fully equipped for performance ventilation, supplied with a 1/4" NPT to 1/2" barbed hose fitting for simple breather-line integration. A high-quality gasket and O-ring are included to ensure a leak-free seal.
