Mechanic (Dr. H (Honda)) gave it the thumbs up (Safety Inspection).

Told me everything is all stock, non-accidented, original paint, all Vin numbers match, etc...

The Emission testing readings were very low too.

Trying to catch up on info on this site. Like what oil filters to get...and what fluids should I replace...

Oil = Your choice of whatever you like.
Filter = 15400- PCX-004 OEM Honda oil filter, don't use anything but.
Tranny = Honda MTF
Diff = I personally like Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-110 but any GL5 rated fluid will work.

Thanks Fernando.

Is the PCX filter the crazy expensive one from the dealer?

it's around $8-12, the s2000 filter is bigger/different from all other honda/acura oil filters so don't let them substitute if they try

I'd recommend Amsoil for motor oil, tranny and diff

edit: you should also replace brake fluid and clutch fluid while you're at it

I'll redirect my queries to the Regional forum before my introduction here gets too long...
