X Oil Cap Threading Pitch

I noticed that not very many companies make oil caps for the X. I also noticed that the style of oil cap has changed from the IX to the X. Do you guys know what the thread pitch is on the X for the threading? Perhaps we can use oil caps from other cars? The stockie SUX! HAHA

I think HKS makes a couple of different versions. But the stock one is pretty lame,

The HKS cap is the only one I like for the X. I wish there were more options though.

The Evo X's oil cap thread pitch is M33 x 2.8. It's the same pitch as Honda, so you can use any aftermarket Honda oil cap.

Does anyone have pics of the HKS cap installed on an X? I've seen some people have it but I've never seen a good pic of it in the Evo X engine bay. Post em up!

not all honda caps fit on our valve cover. the aftermarket cap I bought was too large of diameter up top to fit in our oil cap area. just a heads up.
