    Make sure you look for the correct pressure on the cap

    TRD cap runs a higher pressure. 18.5 psi
    On the cap pictured above, you see 1.3, which is likely BAR.
    1.3 BAR is roughly 18.5 psi.

    Personally, I’d just buy it straight from the dealer.
    And at that, I’d probably just stick with the OEM spec, unless you have a need for the TRD cap.

    BTW, I don’t mean this to be “corrective”.
    Just informational. Please take no offense.

    yeah thanks might just keep it stock for now in that case and leave it for another day
    if ever the situation arises where the cap does fail, leak, or vent coolant forcing the need to buy another and possibly TRD one I'll hit up the dealer to know it's a high quality genuine part
