Default Spoon radiator cap... Universal?

The other day i found my old spoon radiator cap off my old car, it says its for a ef/da,

but it fits and i did a test drive, and it drove fine...

some websites are promoting the one eg/dc/ for the S, but on aj or bulletproof it shows both available for the S. whats up with that?

Not from a street-driven perspective. For a racecar, sure.

There are two types of radiator caps, and the typing is all manufacturer dependent. Koyo states there's a Type 1 and Type 2, while Mugen has a type A and type B. Regardless, one is made for OEM radiators, and the other made for aftermarket/racing radiators.
