are ap1 or ap2 LSD? and also wat weight oil do i use for my ap1 its a 2001 with 22kmi on it. is it 5w 30

 

What?

 

Motor: I tend to use 5w40 Full Synthetic motor oil for the warmer climate we live in. Amsoil and Redline what I go with and I think the OEM Honda filter is the best for the S2000.

Trans: GM Synchromesh FRICTION MODIFIED, the S2000 tranny really likes it and it's available at any GM dealership parts counter.

Differential: LE607 gear oil

oh i get your first question! both ap1 and ap2 diffs are torsen LSD's

 

You beat me while I was looking for this link.

We have a Torsen LSD, read down a little:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/differential6.htm

 

meaning if we were to stage it BOTH rear tires will spin? and oh thank you guys..its so helpful having some people to ask questions to since im new to s2ks

 

question on the OEM filter..do i HAVE to get it at the dealer or is there somewhere else i can get them? also wheres the nearest GM dealer from mililani side..

 

I order stuff like filters in bulk along with other parts online. How many miles are on the car? Check the service records. Chances are, you are due up for one of the major maintenances. Gather everything at once and order from somebody like handaparts.com or hardtopguy. Shipping is a bitch out here...

 

Nah.... probably just your clutch .....

 

If you are just gonna buy the oil filters from online stores like http://www.handa-accessories.com/s2000-04.html , it's not worth it. Shipping will kill the deal, and you are better off buying from dealerships and save time. But, if you pad it with other stuff, then it's fine.

I suggest you find someone here to split the shipping with.

my recommendations:
engine oil : Costco's Chevron 10w30 with OEM filter
Transmission : Honda MTF from any dealers (new formula is out supposedly better)
LSD : Mobil 1 75w90 available at Checkers or whereever
