#34739, "NE1 had oil cap problems?"




          

It looks, to the best of an idiot's knowledge, that oil is seeping out my oil cap. Has anyone had this prob? Can we replace our caps with a universal one?

I got banned for being a constant tard.

yea, i noticed a little bit of oil directly below my oil cap, and a darker line of metal (cuz of the oil) commin from the cap to the head. havent found any ways to stop it. many replacment aftermarket oil caps only fit the turbo's. i have been looking but no luck.

Armond's page says that honda caps fit. Just look in the rice section of autozone/pepboys.

And he is right. In fact they are about 2 times better an oil cap then our OE one. Mine leaked all the time, till I finally lost it one day. So I went to schucks and bought one of the APC alum. oil caps. Now I wish I would have done it a long time ago. It does not leak at all!
I think the packaging said something like "fits all honda/acura"... Guess how much....9.99. Cheaper than a OE one too emoji
Here is a pic. You can see it is just a plain alum one, it does have a piece of CF in the center though.

Well, since Hondas and Acuras are the same, what fits one fits the other.

Hayame makes a nice polished one. Call Mach V. They don't normally stock the 420A one but can get it. All Hayames polished 420A dress up items are trick!
