RLQ00112/F Royal Enfield – Oil Filter Cover (Oil Filter Cap) for Himalayan 450 / Guerrilla 450

The Royal Enfield RLQ00112/F Oil Filter Cover (also commonly searched as oil filter cap / oil filter lid) is the outer cover that secures the oil filter housing on Royal Enfield’s Sherpa 450 platform. It is a critical sealing and retention part—if the cover is damaged, warped, cross-threaded, or poorly seated, it can lead to oil seepage, messy service jobs, and avoidable engine-risk situations during long rides.

RLQ00112 is listed in Royal Enfield parts catalog systems as a “COVER OIL FILTER” item.  Market references also show RLQ00112/F described as “cover oil filter,” and used for the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450. 

This is the right choice when you’re doing an oil service and want a proper, factory-style fit instead of risking poor aftermarket machining/tolerances. For best results, always inspect/replace the O-ring/gasket (if applicable to your model) and torque to spec per service manual.

Compatibility Table 

Important: Official dealer catalog pages clearly list RLQ00112/E as “COVER OIL FILTER” (same RLQ00112 family).  If your chassis/VIN microfiche shows RLQ00112/E instead of /F, order strictly as per your microfiche (suffix changes can be revision/region).

Variants

• Single piece: Oil Filter Cover / Cap (RLQ00112/F)

• Note: Some catalogs reference RLQ00112/E for the same “cover oil filter” family—confirm by VIN/microfiche before dispatch. 

FAQs 

1. Is RLQ00112/F the same as RLQ00112/E?
   Both are referenced as RLQ00112 “Cover Oil Filter” in parts ecosystems, but the suffix (/E vs /F) can indicate revision/market. Match your bike’s VIN microfiche before ordering. 

2. Which bikes use this oil filter cover?
   Market listings map RLQ00112/F to Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450. Because suffix-level fitment can vary, treat it as VIN-check required to avoid wrong ordering. 

3. Will this fix oil leakage near the oil filter area?
   If the leak is due to a damaged/warped cover or bad seating, replacing the cover can help. If the issue is the O-ring/gasket, incorrect torque, or mating-surface damage, you must address that as well.

4. Does the cover include the O-ring / gasket?
   Not guaranteed. Many bikes use a separate sealing ring. Please check your microfiche/service parts list and order sealing parts separately if required.

5. Can I reuse my old cover bolts and just replace the cap?
   Usually yes, but if bolt heads are rounded or threads are compromised, replace hardware to prevent service-time failures.
