my radiators cap rubber doesn't look good now
the rubber is a bit brittle now
it is still the original one
it has a 1.1 spec(embossed at the radiator cap)
my question is can i replace it with a 0.9 radiator cap? what will happen if i use that kind of spec?
i've seen a 0.9 at concorde and it is made of stainless steel which i think is better than the rusty old oem radiator cap in terms of the metals durability.
my vehicle is a 01 hilander sl

i think pwede naman yata yang 0.9 spec. i was once in search for a 1.1 spec cap but to no avail. so i bought the 0.9 instead. so far so good.

sboogie,
toyotas rolling off at nagoya assembly plants come with 0.9 kg/sqcm (12.8 psi, 0.882 bars, 662 mmHg) radiator caps. the 1.1 kg/sqcm is high for your radiator or hoses or the cabin heating core. the 0.9 kg/sqcm is the most recommended for it.
