Detailed Description

This Dorman coolant reservoir cap is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the original cap, helping restore proper closure at the coolant reservoir. The threaded twist design and 50.5 mm diameter support a consistent fit, while the vented construction matches the reservoir’s intended airflow path. For Mazda 3 and Mazda 3 Sport applications, this part number 54238 is also listed for washer fluid reservoir cap use on automatic transmission vehicles, making it a relevant replacement for those specific fitments.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., LF5015205A) for the same application.
