Default New S2k owner in FL

Hi everybody, this is a great forum, I have been reading the posts for a while now since I was planning to buy an S2k for some time now. I finally found a car that I liked and got it about a month ago. It's a 2004 Silverstone Silver and it had 41,600 miles on it. Now, it already has 43k+ :-)

I am planning to do a general tune up to the car: engine oil, trani oil, diff oil, air-filter, cabin filter, maybe sparks and fuel filter just want to get everything done cause I don't really know what kind of maintenance the previous owner had done to the car. I know that there several discussions and debates as to what oils to use for the car, I am planning to use synthetic either Royal Purple or Mobil 1 but I need the quantities to buy and weights. The car didn't have the manual. I would appreciate every recommendation, thanks!

Did you check the secret compartment for the owners manual?

Yes, I did but unfortunately not. I'm glad that the secret compartment exists because of the limited space, I am a bit disappointed that there isn't a glove box.

Unfortunately your going to get 100+ different answers on oils.
I personally run in my car AMSOIL 10w-30 in the motor, Honda MTF in the tranny, and AMSOIL 75w-110 in the diff.
The girlfriends car gets Mobil1 10w-30 in the motor, Honda MTF in the tranny, and AMSOIL 75w-110 in the diff.

My adivce would be to get a quality synthtic motor oil, and run Honda MTF in the trans, and AMSOIL 75w-110 in the diff. If you need the hook-up on AMSOIL in the Orlando area, shoot me a PM and I'll get you in contact with her.

Welcome to the club!
