    My 2009 owner's manual says that after adding oil, "Install the filler cap, turning it clockwise until you hear a click".

    Could anyone else with a 2009 (or any other year), tell me what their cap does? Mine definitely never "clicks". It's just a normal friction fit: the harder you turn it, the tighter it gets. It never clicks or slips (like the gas cap does).

    Thanks

    My oil cap does not click and I would not expect it to.

    Can you pls scan the page from your owner's manual and post?

    Thanks for the confirmation, Patrick.

    Posting may have to wait for a couple of weeks, though.

    Best wishes,

    The oil cap absolutely never clicked on my 2004 Prius.
