TTDRIVER Posted March 1, 2004 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2004 I have two oil caps one with the Japanese charaters surrounding the elephant, and one which says OIL in capital letters. Which is more desirable if at all and more rare. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZmeFly Posted March 1, 2004 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2004 Niether.Ive seen so many on ebay claiming to be "RARE" If they are so rare then I must be sittin on a gold mine that I dont know about because I have about 15 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted March 1, 2004 Share #3 Posted March 1, 2004 Over the years, whenever I have seen an 'elephant' or other unusual oil cap I usually grab it. I have found mabye 30 or so elephant oil caps with the word OIL and only two without. I also have found three oil caps with only the word OIL with no other words or pictures. I believe the just plain 'OIL' cap was on the very first run of the 240 in 69 and maybe early 70. Mine was attached to a NISSAN 2400CC valve cover which I still have. There was a thread about the elephant oil cap sometime during the latter portion of last year. If you search 'elephant' I'm sure you'll find it. I would say the elephant cap without the word OIL would be the most rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have 15 of the caps with the elephant that do not have the word OIL on them? (See next post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdbrandy Posted March 1, 2004 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2004 Yes, I think we've established that the generic "OIL" cap was on the early cars. I remember kats translated one of the elephant oil caps for us on another thread, but I can't find it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
