Default oem oil cap

Does anyone know if the dealer stocks the oem oil cap for the S2000? If not is their a website where i can order it here online? I would call the dealer to get an answer but unfortunately its Sunday & the dealers closed.

If you don't care whether it's OEM or not, you can pick up a nice, color-matched red billet aluminum one at your local autoshop for $10-15.

If you need one in a hurry (like your old cap is gone and you want to drive the car...), most Honda and Acura caps fit. I have an Acura Integra cap on my car right now. It's identical to the S2000 cap, but lists a different oil specification.

They are all under different part numbers, mostly due to the different printing on the top of the cap.

Thanks for the quick replys, & yes i do need one in a hurry. I busted mine this morning, i tightened the cap to much when i put it on last time & when i went to to take it off to add oil this morning the whole top busted off with the bottom portion of the cap stuck in the threads. Luckily i was able to get the part that was stuck in the threads out w/out doing any damage. The car is sitting in the garage, so pretty much i can't drive it until i put an oil cap on. I'm just hoping the dealer stocks the oem S2000 oil cap, if not i'll order it & pick up an aftermarket cap to use while i'm waiting for the oem cap to come in. Ahh what a pain in the ass

I got a spare from Kragen that fits until I got the OEM one out from the transmission tunnel. Dealer usually doesn't have too many if any. I tried 3 dealers and 1 Acura dealer around here and none of them had one.

Getting the cap out can be really difficult... and you likely won't want to reuse it once it is out. It will likely be very scuffed.

The OEM cap is wrong anyway. It says to use SJ oil, it's supposed to be SL.
