Ian's right - I have a Mugen oil cap - the secondone, which is mainly for iVTEC engines as oil fill surround is smaller so the cap is higher for easier access.

I love these mug cap threads. Refer back in
time, many an argument has been had over them. Still think the whole thing is 'tarty' nonsense but people told me about the changes they bring.

Ask Honda if `their` oil caps are good enough. See what response you get.
