They are functionally the same for all 4th gen years. But I do believe that some years have yellow tops and some have clear tops. Or am I thinking of the windshield reservoir?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir has a clear top (at least on my '95), but the part number for the coolant overflow bottle includes the cap, and is the same PN for all years (no different colors).

The washer caps are clear on earlier models and yellow on later models. My 98 was yellow. Coolant jugs and caps (yellow) are all the same that I can tell.

Not so. I am sure that some washer fluid caps are yellow and some are clear. I'm just not sure of the years.

What's not so? The part number is the same for all years, and it includes the cap so I'm quite sure of no color change.

I promise you that different year Maximas have different color caps.
