Mazda

Mazda uses many different brake reservoirs. We have seen the 1100, 1109, 1107, and the 1118 work on different Mazdas.

Most twist to lock caps will be the 1118 however some cars can use the 1107.  It would be best to compare measurements found on the page.

If the cap ID measures as per the pictures 1.8″ then it is the 1118 cap.  If it measures 2.0″ then it is the 1107. Clutch reservoirs on Mazdas if separate from the brake reservoir will also use the 1100/1109 adapters.
