Radiator cap question

opened radiator and the rubber o ring disintengrated. Ordered a supposedly OEM cap from amazon for 17 bucks but questioning if its legit or not. Honda dealer can order for like 28 bucks. I found a Sankei japan made one for 12. Anyone use the Sankei one or would i likely have an issue with it? (I dont mind paying the dealer price but they wont order unless i come in and pay first and then go back to pick it up and theyre a good drive from me). So was just curious about the Sankei.

Why don't you just buy the dealer part for $28?

If you have the OEM part number, maybe you could search on line for a dealer that will ship to your house....?

Don't sweat it, let amzn deliver it to your house because you bought it from a legit Honda vendor:
Proof #1:


Proof #2:
Drill down (aka google search ) on the CS phone number:


Proof #3:
Google search result = MagAuto Honda Parts Department:

You are welcome,
Besides, the Rad. cap is still made in China.

I've never known radiator caps to be mission critical -- just pick one up from your local auto parts store.

This is what I was thinking. For what it’s worth, I have a CSF cap off of RA. Bought it when I replaced the radiator with…you guessed it, a CSF radiator.
