When we began work on our 2016+ Miata washer fluid reservoir, our primary goal was to improve the aesthetics; we designed the tank to look killer, make your engine bay a little cleaner, and we also reduced the volume of the reservoir, saving a few pounds versus stock if you're comparing a full Mishimoto tank to a full stock tank.

One of the major benefits of sharing our R&D process among enthusiast communities is the opportunity to learn even more about what we can do to make the best possible product. Once I revealed our reservoir to the forums, I was quickly made aware that there is an annoying flaw with the stock tank: a leaking cap!

Preparing our new solution for testing

We want to ensure that our products provide as much benefit as possible to our customers and your beloved vehicles, so when we realized this pesky problem was so important to the community, we brought the tank back to the drawing board to make sure we fully satisfy your needs. In fact, we've already got our solution

Mishimoto 2016+ Miata Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir Pre-Sale

At Mishimoto, we know how passionate the enthusiast community is about the fact that Miata Is Always The Answer, and we share that passion!

But by the same logic, we also feel strongly that Washer-fluid Always Sloshes Heavily Everywhere, Rendering FR-layout Legends Unnecessarily In-Direct. Always up for a way to improve on an already wonderful car, we are here to change that by bringing you a 2016+ ND Miata windshield washer fluid reservoir that embodies the true spirit of the car not only by being attractive, but also by shaving some pounds and adding some lightness (if I may borrow the expression from another famed light-weight roadster enthusiast).

I've found most weight-loss programs to be a bit over the top and borderline pseudoscientific, but at Mishimoto, we've adopted a three-step plan that works very well for us.

Here's a photo of the stock tank that we will be replacing:
