Default C5 Engine Mounts Oil Filled?

I know C6 oil mounts are oil filled and leak oil when they are bad. Do the C5 mounts do the same? Or are they not oil filled?

C5 motor mounts are also oil filled - not sure if they are the same part number or not. They are strong and do a really good job isolating the body from engine shake and vibrations.

They are indeed oil filled and make a lovely mess when they eventually go pop. If your car is a street car then I recommend replacing with stock mounts when they eventually fail. If if it's a track car and you're looking for a firmer ride then our Vulcan Motor Mounts become a viable option.

Thanks guys! No signs of oil yet so I think they are still okay.
