Hi everyone,

A newbie S2000 owner here just wanting to know the best brand and type of oil to run in the s2. What have you found to be the best?

Thanks for your help.

You can use pretty much any oil out there as long as it's 10W-30. I would say that if you aren't going to drive the car very hard or very much, use a mineral oil and change it every 3-4,000 miles. If you are going to drive the car how it was built to be driven, then I would suggest a full synthetic and change it around 5-6,000 miles.

I personally use Mobil 1 synthetic 10W-30 and change it around 5,000 miles.

If you want lots more info about oils and such, browse the Under the Hood forum and look for posts by Road Rage. He knows his stuff.

I noticed you're in Washington. I live in St. Clair. Maybe we can get together sometime and I can help you out with any other questions you have.

S2K_Shawn said it well...
We have scheduled several "fluid change out days" on the Gateway calendar. Come check it out!

Shawn said it all... Have been using Mobil 1 for the past few years and have just recently switched to Royal Purple. Can't really notice any difference yet, however, the S is not my daily drive during this time of year either.
