ok does anyone know what other model of honda can we use the oil caps from? im looking at some aem, dcs, hks and others but of course they dont say anything about our car. i know that the only way to find out is to try but i want to make sure before i buy any of these if anyone has tried one from another car. like a 96 civic (i saw an aem one on ebay for cheap for that model) or something. and i know i dont need it i just want it for looks. oh and dont be smart asses and start with the whole...a 2g prelude one will fit. lol

so does anyone know?

I tried an aftermarket one that a mate had for his 96 type R integra & it fitted

My friend's D-series oilcap is identical to the one on my A20, and on my ES2.

as much as I hate apc they do make a good oil cap,it had a thicker gasket then oem. I got a chrome one and painted it anodized purple. I had a terrible time with aftermarket caps on my old hondas,they always leaked.

aftermarket caps usually suck. They dont add horsepower guys, stick to real mods

well theres nothing wrong with making your car look a little nice too. the one I found actually solved my oil leak problem because it seals better,and it's aluminum not cheap looking plastic.

the stock one does have an o ring in it, just replace it.

well dude the only reason i ask is because i want a chrome or some other polished color for an oil cap. not because its going to increase pressure or add 300 horsepower. i just want it for looks :D

I got a blue anadized aluminum E-Bay one. It was generic for Honda cars, and it works great with no leaks.
