Default radiator cap compatiability

hey ya'll

i've recently got the brand new aftermarket radiator, but then it came with their own brand radiator cap.

i was wondering if i can still use the honda oem radiator cap with the aftermarket non-oem radiators.

please advise
thanks in advance~

SELLER: "The stock cap should work, if not, you may need to
find a radiator cap that will fit from your local auto
store."

wow, suckie customer service...

my aftermarket replacement had a cap along w/ it... since they come w/ a lifetime warranty; i'm going to ask for a new one from them when the time comes to replace it.

GL w/ your hunt!
