Spoon radiator cap

Which is the proper Spoon radiator cap that fits the TSX, since Spoon offers type "D" or "F"?

It actually increases pressure in the radiator and causes the coolants boiling point to raise thus increasing cooling efficiency

A pressure cap with higher rating is designed to increase coolant pressure to raise coolant boiling point.
