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

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...

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
