My OEM one has never come loose. I tighten it down pretty good and always have a tough time getting it loose to top off with oil

when it comes to aftermarket caps I always find that they are too tight, I got rid of all of mine because they get so damn tight I have to use a block of wood and a hammer to loosen them. I've had my fill of aftermarket oil caps. I picked up the JDM Honda Type R cap which looks aftermarket and looks nice, but is really a plastic cap underneath and works as reliably as any oem cap.

I may need to hit the gym but when I top off the oil in mine I have to crank the cap pretty hard to get it off.

My OEM I mean.

I somehow managed to lose the O-ring from my oil cap. I bought a Stant cap a couple of years ago and it's worked fine form me since.

use duct tape and a shop rag if you lose your OEM cap. Works 100% garunteed
