Default Oil Cap

Hey guys...

Does it matter what type of oil cap I use? I want the one in the link or something like it. I guess my question is, if I go with something cheap like that, will it eventually leak??

I highly doubt the oil cap will have any leak problems. There really isnt enough pressure under the valve cover to cause the cap to warp in any way. Just be sure there is some type of safety o-ring above the threads and you should be fine.

So what you just said was that it will leak.... ahh yeah...

Just get an OEM Honda one, you can pull one from a scrap yard for like 2 bucks probably.
