Manufactured to match the original equipment fitting arrangement, this cap provides a secure closure for the external engine oil tank's filler opening, helping protect the lubrication system from dirt, dust, moisture and other environmental contaminants.
Unlike conventional engines that store most of their lubricating oil in a sump beneath the crankshaft, the air-cooled Porsche 911 uses a dry-sump lubrication system with a separate oil reservoir.
This external oil tank stores the engine oil and forms an important part of the circulation system that supplies lubrication to the engine's moving components.
The oil tank filler cap allows access to the reservoir when topping up engine oil or carrying out routine servicing.
Its bayonet-style fastening mechanism is designed to engage with the corresponding oil tank filler neck, providing a secure and convenient closure.
The correct fitting and condition of the oil tank cap are important for maintaining a clean, properly enclosed oil reservoir.
Over time, an original oil tank cap may deteriorate due to repeated removal, exposure to heat, oil residue, vibration and natural ageing. The sealing surface may become damaged, while the locking tabs or bayonet mechanism may become worn or distorted.
A loose, damaged or incorrectly fitting oil tank cap may allow oil mist or residue to escape around the filler neck and permit contaminants to enter the tank.
Replacing a deteriorated cap with the OE MATCH Oil Tank Cap 91110707204/1 helps restore secure closure of the oil filler opening, maintain the cleanliness of the lubrication system and preserve the original Porsche oil tank arrangement.
Ideal for routine servicing, oil tank refurbishment, engine bay restoration and classic Porsche maintenance.
What This Product Does:
The oil tank cap provides a removable closure for the engine oil reservoir's filler opening.
Its primary functions include:
- Closes the Oil Filler Opening: Provides a secure cover for the external engine oil tank.
- Helps Prevent Contamination: Reduces the entry of dust, dirt and debris during normal vehicle operation.
- Reduces Moisture Ingress: Helps prevent rainwater, splashes and other external moisture from entering through the filler opening.
- Provides Secure Bayonet Engagement: Uses the corresponding bayonet-style locking mechanism to retain the cap on the filler neck.
- Helps Contain Oil Mist: Reduces the escape of oil mist and minor oil residue around the filler opening.
- Maintains Oil Tank Cleanliness: Helps protect the oil stored within the dry-sump lubrication reservoir.
- Supports Routine Oil Servicing: Can be removed to allow engine oil to be added through the correct filler point.
- Maintains Original Equipment Fitment: Preserves the factory-style oil tank cap arrangement.
- Protects the Filler Neck: Covers the opening when oil is not being added.
- Supports Lubrication System Maintenance: Helps maintain a clean and properly closed oil reservoir.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
The oil tank filler cap is regularly removed during maintenance and is exposed to heat, engine oil and vibration.
Over time, the locking mechanism and sealing surfaces may deteriorate.
Common symptoms of a worn or failing oil tank cap include:
- Loose-Fitting Cap: The cap may not sit securely on the oil tank filler neck.
- Difficulty Locking the Cap: The bayonet tabs may no longer engage smoothly or correctly.
- Cap Not Remaining Secure: A damaged locking arrangement may allow the cap to loosen.
- Worn Bayonet Tabs: Repeated operation or incorrect installation may wear the retaining surfaces.
- Damaged Sealing Surface: The cap may no longer make proper contact with the filler neck.
- Hardened or Deteriorated Seal: Where a sealing element is fitted, ageing may cause it to become brittle, flattened or damaged.
- Oil Residue Around the Filler Neck: Oil mist or seepage may appear around a cap that is not closing correctly.
- Oil Smell in the Engine Compartment: Oil vapours escaping around the filler opening may produce a noticeable odour.
- Visible Cracks or Deformation: Physical damage may prevent the cap from fitting or locking correctly.

- Cost-Effective Replacement: A relatively simple component that helps protect an important lubrication system.
The external oil tank is a critical part of the dry-sump lubrication system used in air-cooled Porsche engines.
Keeping the oil reservoir properly closed helps prevent foreign material from entering the oil supply.
Dirt, water or other contamination introduced through an open or improperly covered filler neck can affect lubricant cleanliness and may contribute to unwanted wear if it circulates through the engine.
A damaged cap may also allow oil residue to accumulate around the filler opening, making the engine compartment harder to keep clean and potentially obscuring other leaks.
Although replacing the filler cap will not cure unrelated oil leaks or lubrication problems, fitting the correct cap restores an important protective feature of the oil tank.

Engine Oil Tanks – Reliable Lubrication and Temperature Control for Porsche Engines
Engine oil tanks are a vital component in Porsche’s high-performance lubrication systems, especially in models equipped with dry-sump or performance-oriented engines. These tanks store, circulate, and cool engine oil, ensuring the correct oil pressure and temperature are maintained under all driving conditions - from everyday use to track performance.
At Design911, we supply a wide range of genuine and high-quality engine oil tanks for Porsche models including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera. Each tank is designed to match the factory’s engineering precision, providing exceptional oil flow, pressure control, and durability to keep your Porsche performing at its best.
What Do Engine Oil Tanks Do?
The engine oil tank forms the heart of your Porsche’s
lubrication system, performing several key roles:
- Stores
and circulates engine oil to maintain a continuous supply under all
conditions.
- Separates
air and oil to prevent foaming and maintain oil pressure.
- Assists
in temperature regulation, allowing excess heat to dissipate
efficiently.
- Ensures optimal lubrication for engine components, reducing friction and wear.
In Porsche’s dry-sump systems, the oil tank is particularly important — allowing the engine to sit lower for better handling while ensuring consistent oil delivery even under high G-forces.
Why Do Engine Oil Tanks Fail?
While designed for long-term reliability, engine oil tanks
can deteriorate or fail over time due to mechanical stress, corrosion, or
contamination. Common causes include:
- Cracks
or leaks from vibration or impact damage.
- Corrosion
caused by moisture, condensation, or old oil residue.
- Blocked
breather systems leading to pressure imbalance.
- Internal
contamination from sludge or metal debris.
- Deteriorated seals or fittings causing oil leaks or pressure loss.
Signs of failure may include visible oil leaks, fluctuating oil pressure readings, or an oil smell around the engine bay.
Why Replace a Faulty Engine Oil Tank?
A damaged or leaking oil tank can cause oil loss, low pressure, or poor cooling — all of which risk severe engine damage. Replacing a faulty tank ensures consistent oil supply, stable pressure, and optimal engine protection.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Restored oil circulation and pressure stability.
- Prevention of leaks and oil starvation.
- Improved lubrication and temperature management.
- Manufacturer-quality materials for long-lasting reliability.
All tanks in this range are built to meet or exceed original engineering standards, using high-grade alloys or reinforced composites to deliver durability, corrosion resistance, and a precise factory fit.
