Althought there are vague claims of increased efficiency for both trd oil and radiator caps - IMO these things are both costmetic. They only make your car run better if you're running without an oil or radiator cap
.
Here's a link to the TRD site for part number and fittment

I'm guessing you have the 12180-SP020

Iow, they help about as much as all those Weapon R stickers and, of course, yellow duct tape striping.

You might wanna check if your center emblem is even attached to the cap or it could possibly fall off from vibration. I thought I remembered a clear protective film attached over the emblem as well.
