I’m looking to get a new rad cap for a 2008 Honda Odyssey. Would you recommend one with a pressure release? Is it something I should worry about failing? Thank you.
What’s wrong with the OEM cap/design?
you mean it has some kind of feature to relieve pressure manually? That sounds an awful lot like a overcomplicated gimmick that's going to make the cap less reliable. The only time you should be needing to open it is when you change the fluid.
All caps have a pressure relief .... just turn it about 180 degrees.
KISS. Just stick to OEM, works perfectly fine so why mess with something that’s already proven?
Sounds like i should stick to OEM. I just thought a pressure release might be a nice feature.
If it fails, then you may damage your engine or you may be stranded on a road. Not worth even thinking about it.
