New oil cap

[mr_goat]

I have some oily vapors coming from the oil cap. I've tried several times to tighten it but it doesn't help. Should I change the oil cap gasket?

No one?

I didn't even know the gasket had its own part number. Is that the gasket that comes off with the cap?

If so, why not just buy a new cap? For about five bucks more than the cost of that gasket you can get a new jdm chrome Honda cap from Science of Speed.

you can use a oil cap from any honda. they all fit.

I used the cap from a honda accord that had the honda logo built into it
better than the OEM version of the cap that comes with the car.

If it comes with the cap, then I'm all right since I have the chrome one in the mail right now =)

I had one on my S2000. I thought it looked nice and its just an OEM cap (the best) with a metal overlay. I had a gen-u-wine Spoon cap that would not fit properly on the S2000 valve cover, but fit fine on a different S2000 valve cover. Yet the oem cap fit both covers fine. Really wierd. Although I have a cheap (but nice looking) "Use MOBIL 1 Synthetic Only" "billet" cap now (it came with the car), I still think its OEM ftw.

I was thinking the same thing. The stock oil filler cap for the NSX (P/N 15610-PR7-A00) actually costs less than the gasket listed above. I'm not sure what that gasket part number even refers to, since I thought the gasket is part of the cap.

Really strange! Look at this picture. Number 14 is the gasket, which is more expensive than 13, which is both the cap and the gasket.
