Default TRD Oil Cap and Radiator cap.

I recent brought these for my SC400 but they don't fit...The radiator cap will fit IS300 and all GS models...I'm not too sure about the oil cap but, they do fit all Toyotas...The Radiator cap is Authentic TRD but the Oil cap is fake...

45 dollars shipped for both...
Radiator cap alone 37 dollars shipped..
Just the Oil cap 15 dollars shipped...
Brand new..I only took it out to test it on my car...

Dennis,

I'm *think* the oil cap is different for GS300 and GS400 (I had a TRD oil cap for a GS300 that didn't fit a GS400). From what I recall, the GS400 cap is threaded and the GS300 has a more of push-and turn end on it w/o threads.

Dave is right on the money. The cap for the GS400 is more "generic" and fit more Toyota cars. I think that is partly why it costs less than the GS300 cap. I think you have the GS400 cap. I have not seen a "fake" one for the GS300.

Might want to check the threads on the bottom and post what it looks like . I'll take a pic of mine if it'll help when I get home on Thursday.

Good price on these.

I have a 2001 GS300 and my cap looks threaded like that. If it will fit I will buy them both form you.

I managed to get the oil cap to fit...I tried to modify the radiator cap to fit my car but its too small and in doing so, I messed it up a little bit..But nothing too noticeable...

So now the radiator cap price is reduced to 25 dollars shipped...I'm sure that it will fit a 2001 GS300..I"ll pm you when I take pictures tonight...

I messed up the edges by using pliers to make the darn thing fit but, it was just too small...

17 dollars shipped for the radiator cap!
