Who makes an oil cap for 1MZ?

Who makes an oil cap for 1MZ?

Postby 99BlackSandv6 » Wed Jul 29, 2009 8:18 pm

The title tells you. I am just wondering if any company other than TRD makes a nice oil cap to fit the 1MZ. I think the attachment system is weird on them because they don't use threads like most caps. Instead they have the two prong thing. Are all Toyotas like that? :think: Anyway I noticed that pretty much all of us have stock or TRD caps, and it got me thinking.

Im pretty sure the trd cap screws on. Ebay is full of them, and they all have threads on them.

Oh, it does? Can someone that has one please confirm this?

Awesome so that would mean we have options I guess. But the stocker does have the 2 prong setup, which is weird.

maybe Tom's, they did work on toyotas, although youd be hard pressed to find such a thing if it did exist at all.

It DOES Exist, although, this was taken from a 4age, which I think is a screw type.

Shoot.
Yeah I doubt I would be able to find something by Tom's, they are pretty exclusive. I always liked the HKS caps, but don't think they make one that would fit. Man that looks very nice, and if I could find one like that^ and make it fit...
Hmmm...

What is that? Do you care to elaborate?

Whoa, is it just me or do you need a new engine cover?
