Which oil cap?

Recommended Posts


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.

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.

Do you have 15 of the caps with the elephant that do not have the word OIL on them? (See next post)

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.

The thread in which "kats" translates the japanese chaecters is:
